Ah, you'll probably have to re-run configure and rebuild the cross compiler. The configure/build process checks for the presence of the cross-assembler and decides which one to use. > > The compiler error output found in the config.log file should hopefully > > point to the problem ... > > Well, below are some of the changes I made today to get it to go > past the various errors.

Hmm, it seems configure does use a couple of fallbacks to determine byte order if sys/param.h doesn't exist, but those require a working cross-assembler ... > It seemed to try very hard to stick in sys/types.h and sys/time.h > and I'm not sure how well I got around that. Generally speaking, the configure process should work on non-POSIX systems that don't provide those headers. But it may well be that something is broken in this case; this will be rarely tested ... > It also seemed to execute /bin/as at one point instead of my > dummy cross-assembler.

See above; you should try to rebuild the cross-compiler first. > Index: configure > =================================================================== > RCS file: /cvsroot/gccnew/gcc/configure,v For now, just patching configure to see how far you get is of course fine. Longer term, however, note that configure is a generated file. You'd have to make those changes either in configure.ac or possible within the autoconf machinery that generates the file.
