[llvm-dev] Cross-compiling for ARM on x86 with llvm/Clang

[via llvm-dev]

Hello list
I have some problems when using x86 cross-compile the arm progress.

First I know a way to get aarch64 binary in x86 with llvm/clang.
There need two things prepared for cross-compile.
1. GUN ARM toolchain →  apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi
2. Clang/llvm compile → http://clang.llvm.org/get_started.html

clang -emit-llvm -target aarch64 helloworld.c -I /usr/aarch64-linux-gnu/include -c  
(can get helloworld.bc)
llc helloworld.bc -o helloworld.s
aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc helloworld.s -o helloworld

>From the cmd above, I can get the aarch64 binary which is function well in aarch64 machine.
But, Is there other way that I can get aarch64 without gcc.

When I try to use below:
clang -v -target arm-linux-gnueabi --sysroot=/usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/ helloworld.c -o hello 

I get:

This seems that linker is wrong, so I change the ld point to /usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld
(using: ln -s /usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld ld)

But I get anther question

>From above message I am confused about the:

/usr/local/bin/ld: cannot find /usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/lib/ld-linux.so.3 inside /usr/arm-linux-gnueabi/

While all these lib is at the right location, why error says ld cannot find them.
If you need more imformation from me, please let me know.
Thanks
