Re: cannot build crosstool due to Makefile issues (mixed implicit and normal rules)

[Aijaz Baig <aijazbaig1 dot new at gmail dot com>]

Thanks for the suggestion. I did this and yes it went past 'Installing
stage I compiler' stage.

Now it has failed yet again and this time it has failed in the
'Installing C library' stage as part of 'Installing pass-2 core C
compiler'.

The error is:

A little more information from build.log:

/********************************************************************/

From the looks of it, it seems that it was unable to find 'lgcc'. Now
as far as compiler construction is concerned, I am a bit of an
amateur. So a little explanation would be helpful here.

Keen to hear from folks.
