Difficulty building stage 1 MIPS cross compiler from CVS...

["Steven J. Hill" <sjhill at cotw dot com>]

Greetings.

I'm trying to build a MIPS cross toolchain and it's been a while
since I built it out of CVS. Here's my configuration line:

AR=mipsel-linux-ar RANLIB=mipsel-linux-ranlib ../gcc-20020110/configure --prefix
=/opt/toolchains/mips --target=mipsel-linux i686-pc-linux-gnu --with-newlib --di
sable-shared --enable-languages=c

After compiling for a while I get:

if [ -f stmp-dirs ]; then true; else touch stmp-dirs; fi

It appears that in 'gcc/config/t-linux' we enable the compilation of
the above unit, but it isn't going to bloody work for obvious reasons
as glibc hasn't even been built yet. What special configure option am
I supposed to use to mitigate this? Thanks.
