Configure errors using host=i386-pc-interix

[Joe Cossette]

Am building for cross platform development 
(ARM-ELF) on a Windows 2000 system with Interix v2.2 installed instead of using 
the CYGWIN.
 
I had to make a minor adjustment to the configure 
script in the base directory to get the shell configured properly.
 
The configure script in the base directory has some 
code in it that looks like this:
 
  case "${OSTYPE}" in   
*win32*)
 
This code properly sets up the shell being used to 
run the script (i.e. CONFIG_SHELL) under a WindowsNT build 
environment.
 
Interix v2.2 sets the OSTYPE environment variable 
to "Interix", so I simply duplicated (i.e. copied) the complete block of code 
that did the case.  This resulted in the desired behaviour (i.e. configure 
appeared to run properly and I could build the source).
 
Using the above "patch" I was able to successfully 
build BINUTILS and GCC, but GDB would not properly build (actually, I didn't get 
to the "make" stage because it bombs out towards the end of the 
configure).
 

Thought you folks would like to know, perhaps you 
don't have anyone actively building on Windows 2000 w/Interix v2.2 
yet.
 
If there's anything else I might be able to do that might help in fixing 
this problems let me know.
 
Thanks for your continued support.
