Newbie problem building newlib-1.12.0 for i386-linux

Thu Aug 12 21:32:00 GMT 2004

Michael,

   Sorry for the delay.  I am looking for a system to upgrade to glibc 2.3.3, 
but please try the following patch.  You will have to do a make 
clean-target-newlib and rebuild.

   You should be targetting for i486-pc-linux-gnu since that is your final target.
