Hi,

I'm trying to install GCC version 2.95.1 for as cross-compiler for MIPS targets.

1. In working on Sun Solaris 2.7 station.

2. I download the binutils and gcc files :

total 87069
-rw-r--r--   1 rami     55797760 Feb 20 11:05 gcc-2.95.2.tar
-rw-r--r--   1 rami     33280000 Feb 20 11:50 binutils-2.10.1.tar



3. I opened them :


	tar xvf binutils-2.10.1.tar
	tar xvf gcc-2.95.2.tar


	and the result :


	total 87066
	drwxr-xr-x  16 rami         1024 Oct 25  1999 gcc-2.95.2
	drwxr-xr-x  14 rami         1024 Nov  7 02:26 binutils-2.10.1
	-rw-r--r--   1 rami     55797760 Feb 20 11:05 gcc-2.95.2.tar
	-rw-r--r--   1 rami     33280000 Feb 20 11:50 binutils-2.10.1.tar


4. I create sub-directory which hold the outcome of the compilation called "gnu"

5. Configuring binutils :

	> cd gnu
	> ../binutils-2.10.1/configure --prefix=/home/rami/downloads/gnu --exec-prefix=/home/rami/downloads/gnu --target=mips

	QUESTION #1 : is target "mips" legal ?


Thanks in advance

Rami
