RE: arm cross errors

[David Korn <dkorn at pixelpower dot com>]

    Hi Cristian,

  I'm replying your earlier letter, because it shows the problem most
clearly.  This is strange:

>Making all in machine
>make[6]: Entering directory 
>`/home/Cristian/b-gcc/arm-coff/newlib/arm-coff/be/ne
>wlib/libc/machine'
>Making all in i386

>wlib/libc/machine/i386'

>Assembler messages:

e/i386/memchr.S:1
>6: Error: bad instruction `pushl %ebp'

  What we see here is that the build has entered the newlib directory
and is trying to build newlib for i386!  Of course, the arm-coff assembler
doesn't like all those x86 instructions.  In fact, it's even stranger:
the command that fails is

------snip-----

where we see the remarkable sight of gcc trying to build newlib for a
big endian x86!

  So it's gotten the wrong idea about paths, or configuration, somehow.
Please send me *ALL* the output from the configure and build of gcc;
I need more info.  Please also send me the output you get when you do

 cd /home/Cristian/build-gcc/gcc
 ./xgcc -print-search-dirs
 ./xgcc -dumpmachine
 ./xgcc -print-file-name

and in the meantime, there are two slight chances that might work:

PATH=$PATH:$i

This line from your bcr.sh might fix it if it actually said

PATH=$i:$PATH

If that doesn't work, there is a known problem of 2.95.2 that it needs
the install directory $prefix/lib/gcc-lib/$target/$version to exist before
building.  You can try this by

  cd /home/Cristian/build-gcc/gcc/
  make installdirs
