I'm compiling gcc-4.2.1 on a sparc64 system. The make fails and complains:

Hmmm... The 'CROSS_COMPILE' means producing a crosscompiler, here one
for 'sparc-linux-gnu'
$target on a 'sparc64-linux-gnu' or something $host.... Because of this
you should have the target
binutils installed in the '$tooldir/bin', here
'/usr/local/gcc/gcc-install/sparc-linux-gnu/bin' just as that
given '-B' option tells ! With bare 'as', 'ld' etc. names...
The OS is Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.20-12-sparc64-smp.
The original gcc is Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4
What could be the problem?
Maybe the 64-bit defaulted 'as' in '/usr/bin' doesn't grok this
option? It will be tried next if the target 'as'
is not found in '$tooldir/bin'...
Probably you didn't want a crosscompiler but a native compiler for the
native 'sparc64-linux-gnu' target?
