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

[Crifan Li <admin at crifan dot com>]

 Hi Aijaz,
    Frankly speaking, for this kind of error, I have met before.
and no too much experience about how to fix it.
but, after google, found a, seems valuable reference discussion:
http://crosstool-ng.org/download/ibot-logs/2011-06-13.html
according their discussion, you can try to add:
-static
to your ./configure (or some config in ct-nt menuconfig? not sure...)

hope above reference is useful for you.
