I have since been informed that there is actually an alternative and possibly more robust way of doing this sort of thing. The top-level Makefile provides targets such as all-gcc and install-gcc. Therefore you should be able to do something like the following at the top-level of the toolchain build tree make all-libiberty install-libiberty clean-libiberty make all-texinfo install-texinfo clean-texinfo ... This process is not going to be less tedious than what I suggested earlier, but it may avoid a few problems here and there. Bart Veer // eCos net maintainer
