m68k-elf-gcc build problem

[Paul Cadaret]

Hello,
I'm trying to build a gcc-3.3.2 on Solaris-7 as a m68k-elf cross compiler.
It dies late in the build as follows:

    ...

    configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler
    cannot create executables.
    make: *** [configure-target-libiberty] Error 1



To get this far I have already:
1.  Built and installed  binutils-2.14 for the target m68k-elf
2.  Configured my path so that the gcc configure can find m68k-elf-as, 
m68k-elf-ld, and the other tools
3.  I found an old GCC cross-compile FAQ and I setup a script to run the 
gcc-3.3.2 configure as follows:

      ${SHELL}  ../configure                                        \
            --prefix=$LOCAL                                         \
            --target=m68k-elf                                       \
            --program-prefix=m68k-elf-                              \
            #

4.  As you can see it gets quite a way through the build before it 
croaks however the error doesn't seen like
the build knows that it is constructing a cross compiler at this point.
(Of course the m68k-elf executables are not executable on Solaris.)

Questions:
Q-1:  The obvious question is:  Can I build a m68-elf (or m68k-coff) 
cross version of gcc-3.3.2?
Q-2:  Perhaps the FAQ I found is obsolete so:  Is there a cross-compile 
FAQ that is known to work for building gcc-3.3.2?

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks much
Paul
