Hi!


I'm a definite newbie here, and am very sorry that I haven't had the time 
to lurk before posting, but I've been trying to get this to work for 
quite some time now and am having no luck. What I'm trying to do is build 
egcs-1.1.2 to compile to a hitachi h8300 target from a linux(i586) host. 
I've compiled the latest binutils with no problem (using the proper 
--target and --prefix commands) but am having problems with egcs. 
Following the instructions at 
http://www.zanshinsys.com/linux-h8300/linuxgcc-h8300-HOWTO.txt,
(ignoring the newlib issues, as that is an experiment I'll only try 
later...) yielded what appears to be a serious problem:

While doing a "make cross LANGUAGES "c c++", I got this message:
---
checking whether the C compiler 
(/home/louie/projects/legos/tars/build-egcs/gcc/xgcc 
-B/home/louie/projects/legos/tars/build-egcs/gcc/ -g -Os ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler 
cannot create executables.
make[1]: *** [configure-target-libiberty] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/louie/projects/legos/tars/build-egcs'
make: *** [cross] Error 2
---
This appears to be a serious error, but I just made a guess and did a 
"make LANGUAGES="c c++" install" anyway, and it seems to yield a 
perfectly usable copy of the cross-compiler. So- does anyone here have 
any clue as to what the problem is? Is it more serious than it appears? 
Most importantly, is there a way to fix it? I suppose (since I know have 
apparently functional binaries) that this isn't a particularly big deal, 
but by this point I'm more curious than anything else. 
Thanks in advance-
Luis Villa
