Problems compiling 3.2.3 for ARM7TDMI, old ABI

[Tsolakos Stavros <stsolakos at gmail dot com>]

Hi all.

This is my first post to this list. Greetings to everybody.

I am trying to compile gcc 3.2.3 under cygwin(WinXP) using gcc 3.2 
(20020927 pre-release). I want to make a cross compiler for ARM7TDMI, 
producing old ABI objects.

I can't afford using the new ABI because I have to link my code with 
many libraries using the old ABI. My code has to be linked by other code 
compiled with ADS 1.2 (old ABI).

So I did this:

I downloaded binutils-2.14.
configure --target=arm-none-oabi --with-cpu=arm7tdmi --prefix=/usr/local
make
make install

Everything worked fine.

Then:

I downloaded gcc-3.2.3 (just the core, no cpp, ada java or other langs)
configure --target=arm-none-oabi --with-cpu=arm7tdmi --prefix=/usr/local
make

Configuration went ok.
While making I kept getting "cpu" re-asserted warnings and I finally got 
thess errors:

This seems to be ARM code but the -mthumb option makes me think that 
there is something going really wrong here.

Can anybody help me with this? Has anybody ever come across anything 
similar?

Thank you all,
