Yes

In the meantime I found another (older) build script in the archives
which builds in 3 stages (linking the newlib sources into the gcc tree).
That resolved the libiberty problems. The linking problems, which lead
to the build failure in libiberty, could be solved by patching the specs
file according to the message you mention. I have now a running m68k
toolchain (I think...) including gdb.

There is one issue with the newest binutils-2.11.2. The assembler seems
to have problems with m68000. I was not able to compile the simple

int main (void)
{
	return 0;
}

program with m68000 target because the assembler generated errors. No
problem with m68020.

I downgraded to binutils-2.9.1 which solved this problem.

Thanks four your reply
