into a fresh location?  (i.e., no previous checkout?)

(it's not a stupid question; the symptoms you describe, to me, say
"something very very broken in your source tree.")

I assume your source tree is otherwise unmodified?

Well, for one, I don't believe that newlib is supported from
mips*-linux, but that wouldn't cause most of the problems you're
seeing.

looks like that's a not-in-source-tree build.  good.  (I assume that
"../gcc/configure" is the top-level configure file.)

you're using GNU make, right?


you've got me.

if you post some of the actual output from failing commands, maybe
somebody will be able to help more, but really, this doesn't sound
like anything i've seen...
