M68k-Coff gcc-3.2 build query

[Neill Jones <neill dot jones at rodboroughradio dot co dot uk>]

Hi there,

I found a query similar to this on the archives, but no answer, so
I am posting it again. I am trying to compile gcc-3.2 and 
binutils-2.12.91 as a crosscompiler. My host is i686-pc-linux-gnu
and my target is m68k-coff. My linux system is Redhat 7.3.
I am compiling with gcc-2.96.

Binutils makes fine (or seems too), but during the build of gcc-3.2
when it first tries to use the m68k-coff/bin/ld program (in the 
compilation of libiberty) I get the error

checking whether the C compiler (/home/neillj/crosscompiler/build-gcc/gcc/xgcc 
-B/home/neillj/crosscompiler/build-gcc/gcc/ -B/usr/local/m68k-coff/bin/ 
-B/usr/local/m68k-coff/lib/ -isystem /usr/local/m68k-coff/include -g -O2 ) 
works... no

On further examination, the error seems to be ...

/usr/local/m68k-coff/bin/ld: cannot find -lc
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I have tried putting the (provided with redhat) libc library path in
directly but this makes no difference.

I have also read that there are problems using libc (2.2.?) if it was 
compiled with egcs but I have no idea if this is the problem here.

Has anyone had a similar problem and found a solution? Do I have to
compile a native version of gcc-3.2 first (instead of using gcc-2.96 as
supplied by Redhat)? Would compiling libc again with gcc-3.2 or gcc-2.96
make any difference?

Thanks for any help

Regards

Neill Jones
