I thought I had got it wrong, but it's still happening - same place same
error. 

What I'm trying to do is to build a cross-compiler for 32bit DOS using
Linux as the host compiler - this is so I can cross-compile my UNIX
sources as a DOS application and test using my DOSEmu - thus no real need
for access to *cough* MSDOS.

I do know my native binutils and gcc are configureed properly. I believe
it's a matter of finding a workaround to get pass the libgcc2 build error. 

Thanks for your advice, I shall see if I can get it to work this time. 

Cheers, 
Alex
