Problem in linking newlib

["Naveen Malik" <maliknaveen at hotmail dot com>]

Dear Mr. Johnston,

The summary of the procedure adopted to make cross-gcc is as follows :

$ export TARGET=m68k-coff
$ export PREFIX=/usr/m68k-coff
$ export PATH=${PREFIX}/bin:$PATH

/*making binutils-2.10.91.0.2*/
unpack binutils under /usr/m68k-coff
$ mkdir /usr/m68k-coff/build-binutils
$ cdr /usr/m68k-coff/build-binutils
$../binutils-2.10.91.0.2/configure --target=$TARGET \
    --prefix=$PREFIX 2>&1 | tee configure.log
$ make all install 2>&1 | tee make.log

/*making gcc-3.0.4*/
unpack gcc under /usr/m68k-coff
$ mkdir /usr/m68k-coff/build-gcc
$ cdr /usr/m68k-coff/build-gcc
$../gcc-3.0.4/configure --target=$TARGET  \
    --prefix=$PREFIX --without-headers --with-newlib \
    2>&1 | tee configure.log
$ make all -gcc install -gcc 2>&1 | tee make.log

/*making newlib1.10.0*/
1. unpack newlib under /usr/m68k-coff
2. put the patches that stop the newlib to make executables while compiling.
$ mkdir /usr/m68k-coff/build-newlib
$ cdr /usr/m68k-coff/build-newlib
$../newlib-1.10.0/configure --target=$TARGET  \
    --prefix=$PREFIX     2>&1 | tee configure.log
$ make all install 2>&1 | tee make.log

after this I compile the gcc again for its full functionality --

/*making complete gcc-3.0.4*/
$ mkdir /usr/m68k-coff/build-gcc-again
$ cdr /usr/m68k-coff/build-gcc-again
$../gcc-3.0.4/configure --target=$TARGET  \
    --prefix=$PREFIX --with-newlib \
    2>&1 | tee configure.log
$ make all install 2>&1 | tee make.log

during all this process I don't get any error and the process ends happily.
Now, when I run the command to compile a simple c programme of hello world -

#include<stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
    printf("Hello World\n");
}

I get errors.

If I compile upto the assembling phase ( -c option) or upto compilation
phase (-S option) no errors are found, but as soon as I want to make
executable, long list of errors appear as follows -

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

even using -lnosys at the end of command line has no effect.

Please advice - whether I have installed newlibs wrongly or I am not using
the cross gcc properly.

Please help me to resolve this issue.

With Best Regards
