i586-pc-linux-gnu/sh-hitachi-hms cross won't build

[William Gatliff]

Guys:

I'm struggling to create an egcs-1.1.2 sh-hitachi-hms cross-compiler
virgin i586-pc-linux-gnu (RedHat 6.0) setup.  I've attached an excerpt
of the build process; it looks like the problem crops up during testing
of xgcc.

I've tried this with both 'make cross LANGUAGES="c c++"' and 'make all
install' (the latter per the crossgcc FAQ; the former worked for me in
the past), to no avail.

I've checked and re-checked that I built binutils 2.9.1 and egcs-1.1.2
with --target=sh-hitachi-hms, and the configure process appears to find
them properly.  Paths and so forth, including the existence of xgcc in
/usr/src/egcs-1.1.2/gcc/, all seem to check out as well.

I'm doing all of this as root

I even replaced the RH60 gcc with a native egcs that I built myself, and
which seems to work properly.  Still no go.

I'm stumped, although I recognize that my skills are somewhat limited at
this point.  Any suggestions?
