linux->mingw32: xgcc cannot produce executables!

[Alexander V. Voinov]

Dear Colleagues,

I've tried to build egcs-1.1b as a crosscompiler:
host = i586-unknown-linux
target=i586-pc-mingw32
prefix=$HOME/usr (I have no su priviledges on that box).

Having completed with cc1, cc1plus, ..., gcc
it starts to configure libiberty and complains
that xgcc "doesn't work": "it cannot produce executables".

What to do? Should I take libiberty from binutils?
They are built ok.
(I couldn't do that for my recent exercise with vxworks
because binutils do not yet know about vxworks,
so in the described case I tried to repeat the 
same way).

Alexander
