PROBLEM BUILDING BINUTILS UNDER CYGWIN

[Tony Cerreto]

Hi:
I am ultimately tring to create a cross-compiler with the powerpc as the
target.
While trying to create Binutils version 2.12.90 (same problem in 2.13)
using gcc version 2.95.3-5 under the cygwin environment (latest
available) I receive the following error message.  My configure
parameters are as follows: ../binutils-2.12.90/configure
--enable-shared  --target=powerpc-IBM-eabi

Does anyone know why this problem has occurred?  Thanks.
