Actually the source versions of binutils and gcc that i am building are binutils-20010425-2 and gcc-2.95.3-4.
 I want to build both binutils and gcc.
i have created links for binutils,gas,ld,gprof,bfd and opcodes in the main directory of gcc.

While configuring opcodes i get the following mesage and the configuation stops

ltconfig: unrecognized option `--build=i586-pc-cygwin32'
Try `ltconfig --help' for more information.
configure: error: libtool configure failed
Configure in /home/Deepak/build2/opcodes failed, exiting.

Can u help me out in this
thanks in advance
Deepak

If the failure is "gencode" complaining about "unknown rtx code..." then
it's caused by not handling DOS CR LF property. This can be fixed by
doing one of the following:

* apply the patch
	http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2001-07/msg02146.html

* mount the directory the sources are under in textmode

* convert the file gcc-3.0/gcc/config/i386/i386.md to use Unix newlines
	http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-07/msg01696.html

* unpack the sources with Cygwin tar (the extra CR's that caused the
  build to fail are added by programs such as WinZip)

then build it according to the instructions
	http://gcc.gnu.org/install/index.html

I don't have any other problems building the GCC 3.0 release for C/C++.

By the way, the plateform-specific installation notes says

that seems to imply that 2.95.x might not work.
