Build Binutil for ARM problem

["benny" <benny5 at mindspring dot com>]

Hi,

I am trying to build the binutil-2.11.2 on my desktop (Win2000) using
Cygwin 1.3.9 and follow the procedure described in
http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/tools/win-arm-elf.html
to build ARM cross tools for windows.
(Native compiler is 2.95.3, native binutils are 2.11.2)

Configure passed fine.
I built a bunch of object files (I have all the .o files required for the
last stage).
Then on the link stage I got the next problem  (last lines from make.out):

for i in elfarm-nabi.lo elf32.lo elf.lo elflink.lo dwarf1.lo elf32-gen.lo
cpu-arm.lo  ; do \
  case " $f " in \
    *" $i "*) ;; \
    *) f="$f $i" ;; \
  esac ; \
done ; \
echo $f > tofiles
/bin/sh /src/binutils/binutils-2.11.2/bfd/../move-if-change tofiles ofiles
touch stamp-ofiles
/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link gcc  -g -O2  -o libbfd.la -rpath
/tools/H-i686-pc-cygwin/lib -release 2.11.2  archive.lo archures.lo bfd.lo
cache.lo coffgen.lo corefile.lo format.lo init.lo libbfd.lo opncls.lo
reloc.lo section.lo syms.lo targets.lo hash.lo linker.lo srec.lo binary.lo
tekhex.lo ihex.lo stabs.lo stab-syms.lo dwarf2.lo `cat ofiles`
Usage: cygpath [-p|--path] (-u|--unix)|(-w|--windows [-s|--short-name])
filename
  -a|--absolute		output absolute path
  -c|--close handle	close handle (for use in captured process)
  -f|--file file	read file for input path information
  -i|--ignore		ignore missing argument
  -p|--path		filename argument is a path
  -s|--short-name	print Windows short form of filename
  -u|--unix		print Unix form of filename
  -v|--version		output version information and exit
  -w|--windows		print Windows form of filename
  -A|--allusers		use `All Users' instead of current user for -D, -P
  -D|--desktop		output `Desktop' directory and exit
  -P|--smprograms	output Start Menu `Programs' directory and exit
  -S|--sysdir		output system directory and exit
  -W|--windir		output `Windows' directory and exit
mkdir .libs

I understood that libtool requires some lib utility that I don't have. It is
somehow related with old_archive_cmds macro in libtool.
Can please anybody explain me what happens?

Thanks,
Benny
