Hi

I am attempting to create a cross compiler for a System V 386 target
and I have a few questions that are nagging me.

1) I want to compile the program on my Linux box and then run it on
the SysV. Is this what a cross compiler is for? Or am I barking up the
wrong tree? (I can't put gcc on the SysV).

2) If 1 is ok then where is a GOOD documented example of a cross
compile with Linux to SysV target? I have looked at a few but they
don't really make a whole lot of sense.

3) I have managed to re-compile the libraries with some options but I
don't really know which options I should choose. Is my target SVR4 is
my source 386-linux-linux do I use ELF? What is ELF? Do I need to have
the SysV include files? If so where are they?

4) Once the libraries are compiled which ones do I need, how do I
specify them to the linker. 

5) Does anyone have a library already built for me to use?

I'm not really a newbie but I am just a little confused. I have read
some GCC faq's but they don't really answer my questions.

Thanks for any help anybody could give me.
Kevin Price.
