kind of cross compiling howto

[John Smith]

My cygwin is 1.1.0 (with cygwin-20000301.tar.gz) 
under windows 2K. My mounts are : bash-2.03$ 
mount Device              
Directory           
Type         
Flags d:\cygwin\bin       
/usr/bin            
user         
binmode d:\cygwin\lib       
/usr/lib            
user         
binmode d:\cygwin           
/                   
user         
textmode bash-2.03$ I'm trying to build a crossgcc cygwin X m68k-coff 
for several weeks. I read read your <gccm68k.txt> with great interest, and 
tried to make it the way you explain. Helas ... - I could build binutils 
2.9.1 (and also binutils-19990818 from 
mirror/cygwin/latest/binutils/binutils-19990818-1-src.tar.gz) - Then I 
provide THIS symlink : bash-2.03$ cd 
/usr/local/m68k-coff bash-2.03$ ln -s 
/usr/local/src/newlib-1.8.2/newlib/libc/include 
sys-include                                                                  
^^^^^^^^^^^ because if I create a symlink called include, building gcc 
fails, saying : can't cd to m68k-coff/sys-include. Am I right ? - BUT I 
STILL CANNOT build gcc 2.95.2 ; here is error messages : bash-2.03$ make 
> mymake.log ../../gcc-2.95.2-1/libiberty/pexecute.c: In function

breaks before building m68k-coff-gcc So could you please tell me 
: - what is your version of cygwin ? - what are your mounts 
? - what version of gcc do you use ? I meam : where did you get the 
archive ?   There several versions whose name is prefixed by 
gcc-2.95.2, depending on the site from where you downloaded it.   Is 
there any patches to apply against gcc, to fix fixincl.c ? - Am I doing 
right for the symlink ?
- Libiberty is built within binutils. Is it 
necessary to rebuild it within gcc package ? If not, how can I avoid this 
?
 
 
Thank you very 
much, Germain Ivanoff-Trinadtzaty
