Okay. I see it -- libgloss couldn't figure out that this was an elf target. I updated the appropriate part of the libgloss/arm configure.in and things are now building.
I remain a bit confused about the theory of operation for libgloss. It appears to me that libgloss is intended to provide "bare" board support. This raises two (naive, apologies) questions:
1. When an OS is present, should libgloss be disabled? How?
2. Given that an OS is not present, I would still expect libgloss to be board specific, but it does not appear to have a BSP hierarchy.
While I'm thinking about it, how should own specify a configure "triple" when one intends to specify a specific target BSP to be built? For example, assuming I have made the appropriate configure file changes, if what I want is
OS = coyotos ARCH = arm VENDOR = erosgroup BSP = coolboard
how should this be expressed in the --target argument to configure?
CPU_TYPE-MANUFACTURER-OPERATING_SYSTEM or CPU_TYPE-MANUFACTURER-KERNEL-OPERATING_SYSTEM

I'm cross-building newlib for an ARM target, and the build in libgloss is failing. The problem seems to be that the makefile references redboot.ld and redboot.spec, but those files have now been specialized according to whether the target binary format is elf, coff, or a.out.
Is it possible that when the files were specialized the Makefile.in did not get updated properly?
Actually, I'm very surprises to see the redboot stuff being built. I would have thought that this would be a board-specific decision.
Before I go whacking the makefile, recommendations? At the moment, I just want to get a valid build to happen.
