Some precisions about the Makefile newlib-1.8.2/libgloss/rs6000/Makefile.in
because I worked on it during all the day...

- most of the file *.o mentionned in the Makefile do not point out to the
sources.
for example there is a line 
		SIM_OBJS = sim-print.o sim-inbyte.o ...
there is no line 
		sim-print.o: sim-print.c 
so that 'make' does not know from which file he has to build sim-print.o ! 

I had to add them manually for all the *.o file which source was not
mentionned (and there is about 4-5).

- a name is eroneous : mount.o: mount.S in the Makefile.in should be
replaced by mcount.o: mcount.S

So, because he couldn't make the *.S file, I decided to make them 'handly'
so I preprocessed this file (cpp), assemble them (as) and replace the link
like 
		sim-crt0.o: sim-crt0.S
by		sim-crt0.o: sim-crt0.o
so that it has not to make the file *.S and file directly the object file.
But then, after all that, 'make all install' generated an other error : 

make : does not know how to make the target 'sim-print.c' 

So, what??? what does not work, is that the makefile (the rules to make *.o
file are missing?), or the newly-built gcc that should normaly recognize
the file and make them in the right way?
I am lost, and have any experience with makefile, so I would be happy to
get some help about this!

			Merci beaucoup!
