Re: GCC "make" errors

["mandeep singh bhambra" <mandeepbhambra at technologist dot com>]

Hi,

In response to the march options, I tried to use both 
"-march=athlon-xp -g -O2" and "-march=i686 -g -O2" but it does not 
like it. It still gives the error message about the 386 commands.

When i use the ./configure command the march option is accepted as 
part of using gcc as it displays the following:

checking for gcc... (cached) gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc -march=athlon-xp -g -O2 ) works... yes
checking whether the C compiler (gcc -march=athlon-xp -g -O2 ) is a 
cross-compiler... no
checking whether we are using GNU C... (cached) yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... (cached) yes

checking for gcc... (cached) gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc -march=i686 -g -O2 ) works... yes
checking whether the C compiler (gcc -march=i686 -g -O2 ) is a 
cross-compiler... no
checking whether we are using GNU C... (cached) yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... (cached) yes
 
Can you please outline what I can do to eliminate the error message 
or which version of binutils i can install.

Thanks,
 
Mani
