[LLVMdev] build errors while cross compiling llvm-gcc for ARM

[Sanjeev chugh]

Hello,

Since, I cudn't get performance gain using llvm compiler, I've tried to use
gold linker instead of going through these following steps.

a) 'llvm-gcc -c -flo -O2' to generate the .bc files.
b) 'llvm-ld' to combine them into a single .bc. No, not a .so nor a .a.
c) 'llc' to turn your combined .bc into a .s
d) 'as' to turn your .s into a .o

I followed instructions from web page. http://llvm.org/docs/GoldPlugin.html

I configured linker with these paramters.
../src/configure --host=i686-pc-linux-gpu --build=i686-pc-linux-gpu
--target=armv7fl-montavista-linux-gnueabi --enable-gold --enable-plugins
--enable-lto --with-cpu=cortex-a8 --with-interwork --with-arch=armv7-a
--with-mode=arm --with-tune=cortex-a8 --with-fpu=vfp3

Did a make then.

But the code generated with ld-new is intel binary and not a ARM binary :(

I did
arm_v7_vfp-le a.c
ld-new libs a.o -o binary
file ./binary
./binary: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, intel 80386 version 1(SYSV) dynamically
linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9 not stripped

Any idea Why is it so ? Hoping for a quick reply
