Jeff,

I've followed your advice and give an absolute path to configure
Unfortunely the build stiil aborts, now in another place:

gcc -I/home/jmpg/newlib-cvs/build/i686-pc-linux-gnu/newlib/targ-include 
-I/home/jmpg/newlib-cvs/src/newlib/./libc/include -DPACKAGE=\"newlib\" 
-DVERSION=\"1.11.0\" -I. -I/home/jmpg/newlib-cvs/src/newlib/libc/stdio 
-O2 -DMB_CAPABLE -Wall -D_I386MACH_ALLOW_HW_INTERRUPTS 
-D_LOOSE_KERNEL_NAMES -DHAVE_FCNTL -DWANT_IO_POS_ARGS -DWANT_IO_LONG_DBL 
-fPIC -D_I386MACH_NEED_SOTYPE_FUNCTION -DMISSING_SYSCALL_NAMES 
-fno-builtin -O2 -g -O2 -O2 -g -O2 -c 
/home/jmpg/newlib-cvs/src/newlib/libc/stdio/findfp.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o 
.libs/findfp.o
