>Environment:
SuSE Linux 7.2 (kernel 2.4.4, gcc 2.95.3, binutils 2.10.91, glibc 2.2.2, make 3.79.1, bash 2.05.0(1))
>Description:
bootstrap appears to proceed normally until it comes to compiling gcc/crtstuff.c, when a few pagefuls of assembler errors emerge.

I suspect that xgcc may be using the wrong assembler at this point, but I am not sufficiently versed in the differences between GNU Sparc ASM and GNU i386 ASM to be able to tell from the errors.

The error messages are attached.

Please advise me of an alternative way to build a cross-compiler if possible as I have a fairly urgent need for one at the moment.
>How-To-Repeat:
Download and unpack gcc-core-3.1. Download and unpack binutils-2.12.1.
cd gcc-3.1
ln -s ../binutils-2.12 binutils
 ./configure --target=sparc-linux --enable-shared --with-languages=c --with-cross-host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu
make bootstrap (or just make)
