gcc on mips-*-sysv4* Cannot generate float.h

["Koundinya.K" <kk at ddeorg dot soft dot net>]

Hello everybody,
	I have asked this question many times. I am trying to compile egcs1.0.3a on 
my mips R4000 based system running SVR4.2 O.S for nearly 4 months now. I am 
using the configuration for

mips-sni-sysv4*. with the gas and gnu linker.

as this configuration was recommended to me by many on the mailing list and I 
personally also feel that this should work for me.

All the compilation in the process of bootstrapping works except for the
point when the program "enquire" tries to generate float.h , where I get the 
following error.

I am pasting some log here.

 ./ld -o enquire /opt/epc/epctools/crt1.o /opt/epc/epctools/crti.o

----------------Later stuff not shown-----------------------------------------


I did 

ldd -d enquire

dynamic linker: enquire: file loaded: /usr/lib/libc.so

and found that libc was dynamically loaded.


So I tried static linking , by making suitable changes to the LINK_SPEC in the
sni-svr4.h to contain the option only for static linking.

#define LINK_SPEC "\
%{G*} \
%{!mgas: \
%{dn}}"

But still there is no change and I get the same problem with enquire. Also 
ldd -d enquire revealed the same result as the above one.

Where I am going wrong. I will be grateful if anyone could provide me any 
ideas/tips. Perhaps any SNI people could guide me.


Thanks for any information provided. Sorry if this mail has been too long.
