The used make is the GNU make indeed ...

In the meantime, the libraries have been built (see further) (thanks
to Randy, who contacted me outside the newsgroup). It came to : untar the
1.9.0- tarball, mkdir <new-newlibname>, chdir <new-newlibname>, run
../newlib-1.9.0/configure <with usual options>, and make all install (still
being in directory <new-newlibname>).
--> this is IMHO an error in the configure script/generated
Makefile, isn't it ? The Makefiles differed by VPATH=. (in the wrong case)
becoming VPATH=../newlib-1.9.0 (in the case in which it works fine). I think
I should report this as an error.
Still (I really didn't do very much else this week :-) I can't
compile the complete gcc now ... Also Randy still has problems with linking
his application (maybe because the newlib- build wasn't correct anyway,
after all ?). I'll keep you (or was it me ? :-) informed ...
Regards,
Philippe Bertin.
