Are you using cygwin with David Knuth's patch to the gcc source
and what configure options did you use?

I have tried this and various alternatives via modifications to the script
with:

configure --host=i686-pc-cygwin --target=m68k-elf
--prefix=/cygdrive/c/gccm68k \
 --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --enable-languages=c,c++ \
 --without-headers --with-newlib \ 
 --with-local-prefix=/cygdrive/c/gccm68k/m68k-elf --verbose

It seems to work 'better' with /cygdrive/c instead of c:
On one attempt the first pass install tried to use /c:/ and failed (another
one for the FAQ).

Something I read seemed to suggest the C library, be it newlib or glibc
should always be built as part of the gcc tree.  What is the current
received
wisdom on this?

I'm obvious doing something wrong.  Maybe someone could enlighten me with
some answers
to the following (admittedly most of which should be RTFM or STFW items).  I
have a least partial answers but independent verification would be nice.

How can I test my binutils are actually working?  
I've tried make check but I'm not sure if this is valid as I don't have
deja-gnu installed.

Why are --with-gnu-as & --with-gnu-ld necessary?
Which as and ld is it after and where will it look for them?

Which headers does --without-headers refer to? what is the relationship of
these
headers to the newlib ones?
