Fwd: Cross compiler build stops

[S.Reng <suj dot ranga at gmail dot com>]

Hi,

I am using latest cygwin to build cross gcc for linux. I am using
crosstool-0.43 with demo-i686.sh modified to have as given below. I
dont know if I am right in this config. or any this else is need, but
build stop with attached error. I have also posted the question in
crossgcc group.

As seen I have latest ld in cygwin.
Thanks a lot.

in demo-i686.sh
eval `cat i686.dat gcc-4.2.2-glibc-2.7-tls.dat` sh all.sh --notest --nounpack

gcc-4.2.2-glibc-2.7-tls.dat IS:

BINUTILS_DIR=binutils-2.18
GCC_CORE_DIR=gcc-4.2.2
GCC_DIR=gcc-4.2.2
GLIBC_DIR=glibc-2.7
LINUX_DIR=linux-2.6.23.9
LINUX_SANITIZED_HEADER_DIR=linux-libc-headers-2.6.12.0
GLIBCTHREADS_FILENAME=glibc-linuxthreads-2.5
GDB_DIR=gdb-6.7.1

But the script stops
