[[!meta title="Bootstrap of the i686-linux-eglibc Port"]]

This port was renamed to `i686-linux-glibc` and, along with `amd64-linux-glibc`,
bootstrapped and uploaded on 2014-03-19.

**The rest of this page is kept only for reference and historical purposes.**

---

Following is the planned procedure to bootstrap the i686-linux-eglibc port from
a core-linux-eglibc system.

This procedure assumes that all base system and build essential packages are
installed, along with libgmp-dev, libmpfr-dev, and libmpc-dev.

These steps are overly simplified and useful only as a reference.


1. Build a Compiler That Can Build Headers
==========================================

Natively build Binutils with the following architecture specifications:

  * Build arch: core-linux-eglibc
  * Host-arch: core-linux-eglibc
  * Target arch: i686-linux-eglibc

Natively build GCC without building shared libraries and without linking
against libc with the following architecture specifications:

  * Build arch: core-linux-eglibc
  * Host-arch: core-linux-eglibc
  * Target arch: i686-linux-eglibc


2. Build Headers
================

Cross build Linux headers with the following architecture specifications:

  * Build arch: core-linux-eglibc
  * Host-arch: i686-linux-eglibc

Cross build EGLIBC headers with the following architecture specifications:

  * Build arch: core-linux-eglibc
  * Host-arch: i686-linux-eglibc


3. Build a Compiler That Can Build a C Library
==============================================

Natively build GCC without building shared libraries with the following
architecture specifications:

  * Build arch: core-linux-eglibc
  * Host-arch: core-linux-eglibc
  * Target arch: i686-linux-eglibc


4. Build a C Library
====================

Cross build EGLIBC with the following architecture specifications:

  * Build arch: core-linux-eglibc
  * Host-arch: i686-linux-eglibc


5. Build a Final Compiler
=========================

Natively build GCC with the following architecture specifications:

  * Build arch: core-linux-eglibc
  * Host-arch: core-linux-eglibc
  * Target arch: i686-linux-eglibc


6. Build Everything for the Target
==================================

Using the new cross toolchain, cross build all packages for i686-linux-eglibc.
