   Hi,
   there is someone that has succeeds cross compiling of egcs under linux for
   mips
   I already installed binutils for Mips before building egcs 

   when I try to build gcc, I get one error message in the last stage:

     _m16addsf3
   xgcc: installation problem, cannot exec `mips-tfile': no such file or
   directory
   make[1]: *** [libgcc1-asm.a] Error 1
   make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/larbi/gcc-2.95.1/gcc'
   make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2

configure egcs with --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld

For most non-mips targets and for mips embedded targets you won't need this.

Saying "for mips" is insufficient btw.  I would have thought you wouldn't
run into this for embedded mips targets (or mips-linux for that matter).
Always specify all arguments passed to configure
when asking for help - it makes things go much more smoothly.
It also a good idea to specify the configuration of your host too -
"under linux" is also insufficient (usually it won't matter, but
best to play it safe: the output of `sh $egcs/config.guess' is what we want).

Scott, this one should go in the FAQ.
I'll crib something up if you want (there might already be something
elsewhere).
