RE: egcs-1.1.1 and autoconf 2.12

["Casero, Juan" <jcasero at microsemi dot com>]

Thanks for the tip.  I will try that when I get home tonight.  Configure
seems to give up when it checks to see if I have a working C compiler.  I
have seen this problem before with trying to compile binutils-2.9.x.x .  If
I recall correctly the scripts crashed because the compiler refused to
generate an executable file for test.c.  The funny thing is that I am able
to compile my kernel. I am not sure but it may the order in which the
switches were passed to the compiler.  Any ideas?

Thanks......
