Here is my path:

/home/opt/ecos/ecos-1.3.1/tools/bin:/home/ecos/H-i586-pc-freebsd-gnu/bin:
/home/gshubin/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/gshubin/bin:

/home/gshubin/bin

Here is what I get when I run 'which cpp':

    cornfed:ecos-work$ which cpp
    /home/ecos/H-i586-pc-freebsd-gnu/bin/cpp

No, I don't have GCC_EXEC_PREFIX set.


Also, here are the configure and make commands I used to build the toolchain.
I used subdirectories under /home/ecos/build for binutils, gcc, and gdb. This
is on the FreeBSD system that doesn't work. BTW, I installed GNU make, since
the native BSD make isn't compatible.

/home/ecos/src/binutils/binutils-2.10/configure --target=powerpc-eabi
--prefix=/home/ecos/ --exec-prefix=/home/ecos/H-i586-pc-freebsd-gnu -v

make all install

/home/gshubin/src/gcc/gcc-2.95.2/configure --target=powerpc-eabi
--prefix=/home/gshubin/tools/ --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --with-newlib -v

 make -w all-gcc install-gcc LANGUAGES="c c++"

/home/ecos/src/gdb/insight-5.0/configure --target=arm-elf --prefix=/home/ecos
--exec-prefix=/home/ecos/H-i586-pc-freebsd-gnu/ -v

 make -w all install
