AW: Compile a new cross compiler

[Hansjörg Petriffer <hpetriffer at grips dot com>]

Hello,

thank you for your answer. I think that there is no reason to use the
--exec-prefix. I have found in a description of eCos for which I make an
cross compiler.

Have you any idea why I receive the following error message:


/src/binutils/binutils-2.10.1/configure --target=i386-coff \
--prefix=/tools \
--exec-prefix=/tools/H-i686-pc-cygwin \
-v 2>&1 | tee configure.out 

This runs without problem, but if I make then the binutils with

 make -w all install 2>&1 | tee make.out

I receive the following error

for i in coff-i386.lo cofflink.lo cpu-i386.lo  ; do \
  case " $f " in \
    *" $i "*) ;; \
    *) f="$f $i" ;; \
  esac ; \
done ; \
echo $f > tofiles

Can anyone help?
