m68k-aout build



Dear Egcs,

I am reporting a successful install of egcs-1.1.1-prerelease-2.

The config.guess program outputs:  hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20
This is the host.

The target is: m68k-unknown-aout

I also built and installed newlib-1.8.1

The g++ testsuite dont' run.  It looks like the problem is that the
'configure' program thinks it doesn't have a functioning 'gcc'.
I think this is because I am building for an environment which
doesn't use a crt0.o. and as such I haven't supplied one.  This seems
to cause the compilation of 'conftest.c' to fail.  This caused 
problems with the build too, particularly with 'newlib'.

I have code executing on our target 68332 hardware.  I have checked the
math functions and the various storage classes and all seems well.

It was a fair amount of work and a lot of discovery for me.

There is a lot of documentation available, describing the trees,
sometimes even the leaves of the trees.  My experience would have 
been easier if there were a document which described the forest.

By this I mean, I would be nice if there were a document which
described each phase of the makefile build sequence.  Oh well, what
should I expect for free?  I wish I had the knowledge and experience
to write such a document.  There is still much I don't know about
this compiler.

Regards,
Ray
