More cross compiler assertion fun

Posted on by 
undefined reference to `___eprintf'

Got this fun one in dwarf.c (and probably many others) while building an ELF toolchain from Linux to run on Windows to target.. Linux.  Anyways I think this is a symptom of Canadian Cross compilers.

So a little digging and ___eprintf turns out to be from the assert.h as macros for assert depend on this being in libgcc.a .. And yeah, MinGW uses something else.  So just copy the assert.h from MinGW, and re-build and away it works.

D:\elfgcc\bin>cc1
int main(){printf("hi!\n");return 0;}
        .file   "stdin"
        .version        "01.01"
gcc2_compiled.:
 main.section   .rodata
.LC0:
        .string "hi!\n"
.text
        .align 4
.globl main
        .type    main,@function
main:
        pushl %ebp
        movl %esp,%ebp
        pushl $.LC0
        call printf
        addl $4,%esp
        xorl %eax,%eax
        jmp .L1
        .align 4
.L1:
        leave
        ret
.Lfe1:
        .size    main,.Lfe1-main
^Z
        .ident  "GCC: (GNU) 2.7.2.3"
