Problems about building gcc-3.2.1 on ARM

["Liu, Yishu" <yishu dot liu at intel dot com>]

Hi,

I downloaded gcc-3.2.1-20021002 and want to install it on my armV5l machine.
The filesystem is netwinder, it is located in my building machine (IA 32) and 
is automatically NFS mounted to the target arm machine.

Because the native build for gcc requires GNU binutils 2.10 or newer, I first 
build binutils-2.13.90.0.16 in the machine, using the following commands:

$ mkdir /tmp/binu_build
$ cd /tmp/binu_build
$ ~/binutils-2.13.90.0.16/configure --program-prefix=g
$ make
$ make install

There seems no problem when doing these steps.
Then I began to build gcc like this:

$ PWDCMD=pawd (# Because the file system is an automounted NFS one)
$ mkdir /tmp/gcc_build
$ cd /tim/gcc_build
$ ~/gcc-3.2.1-20021002/configure ?with-gnu-ld=/usr/local/bin/gld ?with-gnu-as=/usr
/local/bin/gas ?program-prefix=y

The configuring ran smoothly, and then:

$ make bootstrap

This step ended with the following error:

/home/nptltst/gcc-3.2.2/gcc/varasm.c: In function `strip_reg_name':
/home/nptltst/gcc-3.2.2/gcc/varasm.c:734: warning: comparison of unsigned expres

make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/gcc'
make[1]: *** [stage2_build] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/gcc'
make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2

I retried these steps to build gcc-3.2.2 but met the same error.

Did anybody once met such a problem and could you please give me a hand to offer some guide? 
Thanks!
