problem building binutils for HPPA on i686

[Giuseppe Sacco <eppesuigoccas at libero dot it>]

Hi,
this is the first time I try to cross compile binutils, so maybe I am
missing something.

I am working on a machine Debian GNU/Linux 2.2r3 on a i366 architecture.

I unpacked the tarball (tried 2.9.5.0.37 and 2.11.90.0.7) and then
issued these commands:

tar xzf binutils-2.11.90.0.7.tar.gz
mkdir build-binutils
cd build-binutils
../binutils-2.11.90.0.7/configure --target=hppa-hpux --prefix=/mnt/install -v
make all

after some time an error occur. This is the last part of the compilation output:

Do you have any suggestion on how to correct the problem? Is this a bug
that I have to report?

Thank you very much,
