                     83: can figure out which dashes serve which purpose.)  For example,
                     84: @samp{m68k-sun-sunos4.1} specifies a Sun 3.
                     85: 
                     86: You can also replace parts of the configuration by nicknames or aliases.
                     87: For example, @samp{sun3} stands for @samp{m68k-sun}, so
                     88: @samp{sun3-sunos4.1} is another way to specify a Sun 3.  You can also
                     89: use simply @samp{sun3-sunos}, since the version of SunOS is assumed by
                     90: default to be version 4.  @samp{sun3-bsd} also works, since
                     91: @file{configure} knows that the only BSD variant on a Sun 3 is SunOS.
                     92: 
                     93: You can specify a version number after any of the system types, and some
                     94: of the CPU types.  In most cases, the version is irrelevant, and will be
                     95: ignored.  So you might as well specify the version if you know it.

                   1567: multiplication and division, you can tell GNU CC to call them directly
                   1568: by defining the macros @code{MULSI3_LIBCALL}, and the like.  These
                   1569: macros need to be defined in the target description macro file.  For
                   1570: some targets, they are defined already.  This may be sufficient to 
                   1571: avoid the need for libgcc1.a; if so, you can supply an empty library.
                   1572: 
                   1573: Some targets do not have floating point instructions; they need other

                   1575: Recent versions of GNU CC have a file which emulates floating point.
                   1576: With a certain amount of work, you should be able to construct a 
                   1577: floating point emulator that can be used as @file{libgcc1.a}.  Perhaps
                   1578: future versions will contain code to do this automatically and

                   1580: 
                   1581: If your target system has another C compiler, you can configure GNU CC
                   1582: as a native compiler on that machine, build just @file{libgcc1.a} with
                   1583: @samp{make libgcc1.a} on that machine, and use the resulting file with
                   1584: the cross-compiler.  To do this, execute the following on the target

                   1606: functions.  If these definitions do not use the C arithmetic operators
                   1607: that they are meant to implement, you should be able to compile them

                   1613: Otherwise, you should place your replacement library under the name

                   1619: 
                   1620: If you are cross-compiling a standalone program or a program for an
                   1621: embedded system, then you may not need any header files except the few
                   1622: that are part of GNU CC (and those of your program).  However, if you
                   1623: intend to link your program with a standard C library such as
                   1624: @file{libc.a}, then you probably need to compile with the header files
                   1625: that go with the library you use.
                   1626: 
                   1627: The GNU C compiler does not come with these files, because (1) they are
                   1628: system-specific, and (2) they belong in a C library, not in a compiler.
                   1629: 
                   1630: If the GNU C library supports your target machine, then you can get the
                   1631: header files from there (assuming you actually use the GNU library when
                   1632: you link your program).
                   1633: 
                   1634: If your target machine comes with a C compiler, it probably comes with
                   1635: suitable header files also.  If you make these files accessible from the host
                   1636: machine, the cross-compiler can use them also.
                   1637: 
                   1638: Otherwise, you're on your own in finding header files to use when
                   1639: cross-compiling.
                   1640: 
                   1641: When you have found suitable header files, put them in
                   1642: @file{/usr/local/@var{target}/include}, before building the cross
                   1643: compiler.  Then installation will run fixincludes properly and install
                   1644: the corrected versions of the header files where the compiler will use
                   1645: them.
                   1646: 
                   1647: Provide the header files before you build the cross-compiler, because
                   1648: the build stage actually runs the cross-compiler to produce parts of
                   1649: @file{libgcc.a}.  (These are the parts that @emph{can} be compiled with
                   1650: GNU CC.)  Some of them need suitable header files.
                   1651: 
                   1652: Here's an example showing how to copy the header files from a target
                   1653: machine.  On the target machine, do this:
