Was this recently (i.e. 2.7 binutils -- not the 2.6 binutils
referenced in the FAQ)?

I detarred the binutils-2.7.tar.gz tarball into /usr/gnu (which was
created just for this purpose  :>).

	cd /usr/gnu
	configure --target=h8300-coff --prefix=/usr/cross --verbose
	make all

which then falls down trying to build ldemul.c since h8300-coff
expands to h8300-unknown-coff and the "h8300-unknown" symbol
is processed instead of "h8300"

I will rebuild (after my attempt at "h8300-hms" finishes) and
send the exact compiler error messages.

Thanks!
