as.exe 2.14 -mips3 with -n32 option gives Invalid bfd target

[Ken Faiczak]

I'm trying to upgrade our tool chain to
gcc 3.3.1 and binutils 2.14

While building the gcc libraries as part of the compiler build
I build for a bunch of multilib options
mips3/mips64 o64/n32

It builds all the o64 items fine but all the n32 ones give
FATAL: can't create libgcc/mips3/n32/_muldi3.o: Invalid bfd target

/m/ken3/Compiler/mips/gcc/xgcc -B/m/ken3/Compiler/mips/gcc/

../../gcc/gcc/libgcc2.c -o libgcc/mips3/n32/_muldi3.o
FATAL: can't create libgcc/mips3/n32/_muldi3.o: Invalid bfd target

target is mips-wrs-vxworks
host if cygwin/win2k

any ideas on what is wrong here??
or what other debugging tricks to look at...


If I replace as (2.14) with as 2.13.2.1 then it compiles fine...

-----------------------------------

This all worked fine with gcc 3.2.3 and binutils 2.13.2.1
despite some early issues with relocations missing
the n32 stuff worked fine for us in 2.13.2.1

Thanks for any help...
