error compiling for THUMB-COFF

[mrburns]

hello, 
I have installed binutils-2.10.1 and cross compiler gcc-2.95.3 for the
target thumb-coff.

while installing newlib-1.9.0 I get the following error message:

../../../../../../../source/newlib-1.9.0/newlib/libc/sys/arm/setjmp.S:
Assembler messages:
../../../../../../../source/newlib-1.9.0/newlib/libc/sys/arm/setjmp.S:97:
Error: r15 not allowed here
../../../../../../../source/newlib-1.9.0/newlib/libc/sys/arm/setjmp.S:117:
Error: r15 not allowed here
thumb-coff-gcc: file path prefix
`/home/marco/tesi/newlib/build/thumb-coff/newlib/' never used
make[6]: *** [setjmp.o] Error 1

the configure command I give is:

configure --target=thumb-coff

any idea?
