Re: linking newlib (libc.a crt0.o) for powerpc-ibm-eabi target on i686-pc-cygwin host


Sorry for the crossposted reply, but...

Did you look at http://crossgcc.billgatliff.com?  There's a FAQ there.

In particular, LANGUAGE=c isn't supported after 2.95.1.  I don't know
what the results are, but they may explain what you're seeing.

HTH,

b.g.
