Adding newlib to existing GCC, prefix?

[Vitus Jensen]

Hej!

I'm trying to add newlib-1.12.0 to an existing port of GCC.  That GCC was
produced some year ago by a collegue no longer available.  He used the coldfire
project (http://sca.uwaterloo.ca/coldfire/) to crosscompile from Windows
2000 (cygwin B20) to our own hardware/software plattform which uses Motorola
DragonBall and a propritary OS. The compiler itself runs fine, it's just that
now I need a CRT...

"configure" and "make all" complete successfully, but "make install" fails
:-(

//T/C/coldfire/gcc-m68k                       ; contains
bin/m68k-coff-gcc.exe etc
//T/C/coldfire/newlib-1.12.0                  ; contains original
newlib1.12.0
//T/C/coldfire/newlib                            ; my build directory

I'm using the following configure command (with variations of --host and
--prefix values):

//T/C/coldfire/newlib-1.12.0/configure --target m68k-coff
--enable-target-optspace --prefix=//T/C/coldfire/gcc-m68k

"make install" fails when calling install:

Usage:
  install install-directory

This program will install gcc-m68k Release 6
to the install-directory from the current directory.

Press return to continue...

I assume that I need a different --prefix value?  Or am I totally lost?  Any
hints?

PS: meanwhile I will go on testing different configure switches.  But each
compile run takes ages!
