Newbie Questions on GNU m68k tools under Linux

[John Walker <john.b.walker@gecm.com>]

Dear All,

I have recently compiled the GNU m68k toolset under RedHat Linux.

Setup:

	host=i486-linux
	target=m68k-coff
	prefix=/usr/local/m68k

Versions:

	gcc-2.7.2.1
	gdb-4.16
	libg++-2.7.2
	newlib-1.7.1

My questions are;

Q1. I would like to compile C++ for the m68k and therefore downloaded
libg++ as specified in the CrossGCC FAQ from Cygnus.

I tried to compile the library a number of times but it always fell
over at the same stage. The configure operation worked fine,

[root@felix]: build-libg++]# ../libg++-2.7.2/configure
--host=i486-linux 	--target=m68k-coff --prefix=/usr/local/m68k -v
...
<blah, blah>
...
Created "Makefile" in /usr/local/src/build-libg++/libiberty using
"xhost-mkfrag"
Configuring etc...
Created "Makefile" in /usr/local/src/build-libg++/etc

and then I try,

[root@felix]: make all install

and it falls over with,

...
<blah, blah>
...
m68k-coff-gcc -c -g -I. -I../../../libg++-2.7.2/libiberty/../include
../../../libg++-2.7.2/libiberty/dummy.c 2>/dev/null
make[2]: *** [dummy.o] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/usr/local/src/build-libg++/m68k-coff/libiberty'
cp: lconfig.h: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [xconfig.h] Error 1
 make[1]: Leaving directory
`/usr/local/src/build-libg++/m68k-coff/libiberty'
make: *** [all-target-libiberty] Error 2

Can anybody help? Is libg++ really needed if gcc already contains the
C++ compiler?

Q2. As well as writing C for the m68k chips  I want to handwrite
assembler. Unfortunately, any assembler I write gets rejected by
m68k-coff-as as being incorrect. Is there a detiled description of the
syntax that the assembler tool accepts available anywhere?

Thanks in advance.
