build failure - H8/300 - no crt0.o

[Jonah]

Actually I just had a similar problem today. Something under gcc (libiberty
presumably) tries to build a program using the newly built gcc and the
libraries (inc crt0.o) located in your prefix directory (eg. /usr). The
problem I had was I was building a cross-compiler and had not built the C
library yet on this machine. Once I installed gcc (just ran make install) I
built and installed my C library (newlib), then re-ran make for gcc and it
completed successfully this time.

I hope any (all :-) of this has helped.

BTW I was using arm target building on x86 with cygwin environment using gcc
from the latest snapshot (20021007).
