    Something went wrong during the configure stage a bit earlier on in the
	build process.  Check back over the output you got from that stage, which
	you should be able to find by searching for a phrase like "Configuring in
	libiberty", and see if you can find any errors there.  Then post it here.

yuk! i took a further look, thx for hint:


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

checking for sys/wait.h that is POSIX.1 compatible... yes
checking whether the C compiler (/home/hansen/download/build_gcc/gcc/xgcc -B/home/hansen/download/build_gcc/gcc/ -B/bar/i386-coff/bin/ -g -O2 ) works... no

--------------------------------------------------------------

but that isn't kinda much, so here's libiberty/config.log:

--------------------------------------------------------------

so problem is: i have no strings.h and no sys/resource.h, perhaps 'cause i
did:

mount the sco:/usr/include via nfs and do a:
../gcc-2.95.3/configure --target=$target --prefix=$prefix --with-headers=/sco_mount/usr/include -v

what did i miss ??
thx thx thx, this mailing-list is really da most responsive&helpful i've
known till now ;-)
