building cross compiler in OS X?

[Geoff Oltmans]

Hello!

I'm trying to build a gcc cross compiler for a coldfire target on a  
Intel OS X  (10.5.7) machine. I get the following error when trying to  
build (in libgcc):

checking for suffix of object files... configure: error: cannot  
compute suffix of object files: cannot compile

This is while compiling under: i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC)  
4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5490)

I'm building gcc-4.3.3, using mpfr-2.4.1 and gmp-4.1.4.

Here's the configure line I used:

../gcc-4.3.3/configure --target=m68k-elf --program-prefix=cf- --with- 
arch=cf

the parts of libgcc's config.log that seem relevant:

What gives?
