Re: Cannot build cross gcc for m68k under Linux


Wolfgang: 


Were you by any chance trying to build a c++ crosscompiler?  If so, there's 
a minor tweak you have to apply to make the libiberty build work. 

I have the patch, but not on the machine I'm in front of right now.  Search 
for "kind of cross compiler howto" on google for the reference I used to 
construct my patch; I'll post the patch here later tonight. 


HTH, 


b.g.
