powerpc cross-compiler build failing

[Rob Ouellette]

Hello,

Please forgive the novice question(plea for help)..

I'm trying to build a cross-compiler on a SPARC host that will
work for a SPARC(sun solaris 2.6) and for a PowerPC 604 (vxworks)
target.  I was able to build the SPARC compiler but not the
PowerPC compiler.  I did the following in an attempt to build the
PowerPC compiler:

1.
/files/gnu-3.0/configure --prefix=/apps/gnu3/powerpc
--host=sparc-sun-solaris2.6 --target='powerpc-motorola-eabi'
(note: also tried "elf").

2.
make (gnu make from /apps/gnu3/powerpc directory)

"make" fails with the following output:

/apps/gnu3/powerpc/gcc/xgcc -B/apps/gnu3/powerpc/gcc/
-B/apps/gnu3/powerpc/powerpc-motorola-eabi/bin/
-B/apps/gnu3/powerpc/powerpc-motorola-eabi/lib/ -isystem

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or what my options are
at this point.  Any advice is welcome and greatly appreciated..

Thanks,

The SPARC compiler built fine using the following:

1.
/files/gnu-3.0/configure --prefix=/apps/gnu3/sparc
--host=sparc-sun-solaris2.6 --target=sparc-sun-solaris2.6

2.
make bootstrap (gnu make from within the /apps/gnu3/sparc
directory)

3.
make install (gnu make from within the /apps/gnu3/sparc
directory)
