[Keith Outwater]

Greetings -
I attempted to build newlib-1.8.0 as follows:

./configure --target=powerpc-eabi
make all

The build halted as follows:

I'm using a linux host (redhat 4.2) and gcc-2.7.2.1 configured as a
cross compiler (--target=powerpc-eabi).

is this a bug, or did i screw something up?

Thanks,
Keith
