Can you give us your --target and the version of Linux you
are running?

Again.  What is your target?

Woah!  Don't make that jump just yet.

Here are the basics for building --target=m68k-unknown-coff:

For BINUTILS 2.8.1:
------------------
  setenv CC gcc
  ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnu --target=m68k-unknown-coff
-v
  gmake CC=$CC all install
For GCC-2.7.2.3:
---------------
  setenv CC gcc
  rehash (make sure that /opt/gnu/bin is in your path)
  gpatch -p1 < ../crossgcc-gcc-2.7.2.2.patch
  ./configure --prefix=/opt/gnu --target=m68k-unknown-coff \
      --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld -v
  gmake CC=$CC LANGUAGES="c" all install

Hope this clears things up.
