I believe this is almost certainly the case, and I'll show you why: look at this extract from Joe's earlier mail: > After receiving your email, I followed your suggestions. > Here is what I did. > > $ cd binutils-20001221-1 > $ make distclean > $ ./configure --host=i686-pc-cygwin --target=i686-pc-linux-gnu > $ make There should be a 'make install' after this line, otherwise the cross binutils aren't installed and naturally can't be used in the gcc build! >Another possibility (although I doubt it) may be that you aren't using the >'-prefix' option to configure (both for binutils and gcc). Is there a >reason you aren't running the configure scripts with the >'-prefix=<some env >variable>' options, to help the utilities locate stuff? My feeling is that --prefix shouldn't generally be used unless there's good cause to do so. Problems often arise when binutils are compiled with one prefix and gcc with another, and in most cases there's absolutely nothing wrong with the default setting of '/usr/local' that gets chosen when you don't specify a prefix. It's easier when all your installs are in the standard places; at least it makes it easier for people on mailing lists who don't know the layout of your system to give helpful advice!
