I am trying to build a cross compiler for i686-pc-elf on my cygwin platform. I am using binutils-2.14 and gcc-3.3.1. Binutils seems to be configured, built, and installed correctly. GCC complains at one point when it tries to test the cross compiler (xgcc). It fails when it tries to create an executable. The problem is that it tries to link in crt0.o and libc.a (or libg.a), but these files do not exist. Could anyone shed some light on how to solve this problem?

 

Here is my comman sequence from Cygwin's bash shell:

 

host=i686-pc-cygwin
target=i686-pc-elf
prefix=/usr/local
i=$prefix/bin
tar -xzvf binutils-2.14.tar.gz
tar -xzvf gcc-3.3.1.tar.gz
mkdir build-binutils build-gcc
cd build-binutils
../binutils-2.14/configure --target=$target --prefix=$prefix -v
make all install
cd ..
cd build-gcc
../gcc-3.3.1/configure --target=$target --prefix=$prefix -v
make all install
cd ..

Thanks,
