problem compiling binutils-2.15.94


Hi all

I am a newbie to Linux and am trying to compile the 'tools' section for
kernel 2.6. I have downloaded binutils-2.15.94, glibc-2.3.3,
glibc-crypt-2.1, glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.3, linux-2.6.9 and gcc-3.4.3 from
kernel.org and other sources. I am working on a i686 machine with Windows
2000 installed on it. Right now, I am using Cygwin for the compilation, with
the default GCC package installed with it (version 3.3.3).

Now, I am having problems compiling binutils for kernel 2.6.9. I gave the
following command in Cygwin:

----------------------------------------------------

/usr/src/build-binutils
$
./binutils-2.15.94/configure --host=i686-pc-cygwin --target=powerpc-linux -
-prefix=/usr/src/tools/powerpc-linux --disable-nls

/usr/src/build-binutils
$ make all install

----------------------------------------------------

I am getting the following errors while compilation:

----------------------------------------------------

arlex.o(.text+0x0): In function `main':
/usr/src/build-binutils/binutils/arlex.c:1: multiple definition of `_main'
arparse.o(.text+0x0):/usr/src/build-binutils/binutils/arparse.c:1: first

make[1]: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/build-binutils/binutils'
make: *** [all-binutils] Error 2

----------------------------------------------------

I checked up on the net and found someone else's entry with the same
problem. The solution suggested was to try compiling with gcc-3.3.3, since
it uses an "earlier version of binutils". But I'm already compiling with
3.3.3!

Can someone please guide me further on this problem and suggest any
solutions?

Regards

Vijay Padiyar
