GNU C (-5200 COLDFire)

[James F Dougherty]

I must have made a mistake. This is the process I used to compile the
m68k support on Solaris for a -5200 backend ..


1) Build binutils
cd <binutildir>
../configure --prefix=/local --nfp --target=m68k-coff
--host=sparc-sun-solaris --with-cpu=5200
gmake all install


2) Build GCC: recommended using EGCS (latest)
cd <egcsdir>
mkdir m68k-coff
cd m68k-coff
../configure --prefix=/local --nfp --target=m68k-coff
--host=sparc-sun-solaris --with-cpu=5200 --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld
--with-headers=/local/m68k-coff/include
--with-libs=/local/m68k-coff/lib/m5200 --with-newlib --disable-multilib
make cross

And it fails. I also tried symlinking /local/m68k/coff/{lib,bin}
into this dir :

and tried making and it fails.

Please Help!!!! I only need to cross compile from Solaris to m68k
-5200...
What should I do?
