Build without libgloss?

["Bruce Adams" <bruadams at tycoint dot com>]

Hi all,
         I am evaluating replacement compilers for a 68331 based embedded
system to run from windows 2000.  
I managed to persaude my colleagues that gcc was a viable candidate.
However, pressure is building on me to 
drop it from consideration and concentrate on the commercial offerings
because I am unable to build a cross compiler myself or source a prebuilt
version for evaluation purposes.  Can anybody help my champion the open 
source community? (unfortunately persuading my colleagues to switch to linux
is not an option :-) 
   After some tinkering I can get as far as building newlib but it (the
build-crossgcc-sh script) fails whilst building 
libgloss in build-newlib/m68k-coff/m68000/libgloss/m68k with "no targets
specified and no makefile found".  The
configure log seems to suggest its trying to use some functions in libc.a
which we should have just built.  Has
anyone know how to resolve this problem?  
   I don't think we will require any of the routines in libgloss for our
application as we already have our own low level
support code.  Is there some way to build newlib without libgloss or is it
an integral part without which nothing else
will work?  The equivalent of running configure with --without-libgloss
perhaps?

host = i686-pc-cygwin
target = m68k-coff          (but I'd be just as happy with elf, maybe even
a-out)

binutils = 2.13
gcc      = 3.2
newlib  = 1.10.0
