My goal was a bit different. I was only interested in compiling kpdfview. I managed that first with x-tools-glibc2.5-gcc4.2.4.tar.gz, but since that file seemed controversial, I tried with CS next, since it was the default in kpdfview makefile. Actually, I lied in this post: the first CS TC I tried was 2008q1, because twobob said "I recommend the CS (Code Sourcery) 2008q1 now since it is the last TC that compiles natively (Runs applications without replacing the onboard system libraries) for the Kindle 3 ". It didn't work, as can be seen in my previous posts (default makefile has bugs that need to be fixed in order to be able to compile it with versions newer than 2007q3). THEN I downloaded all . So, this is "what TC can you use and how to build kpdfviewer" and not "what TCs are good for kindle cross compiling". Both topics have a lot in common, but the first one is more specific.

That said, I do plan to try out stuff from DIY - KeK a bit later. Wait for me!

Now, I followed your advice, and this is the output:

Any comments greatly appreciated .

Your program is opening the Kindle's native system libc cache:

open("/var/run/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY)  = 20
fstat64(20, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=14282, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 14282, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 20, 0) = 0x4001c000

And then seg-faulting when it tries to un-map it:

munmap(0x4001c000, 14282)               = 0
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
Process 1707 detached

Try instead to get your helloworld program to open the system library it was built against.

twobob has written extensively on how to do that.
