--- Comment #4 from DirkInSA <tomsies at mighty dot co.za> --- Symlink was a simply the whole binutils source directory into gcc source directory. I was not aware that each of bfd, binutils, config, cpu & etc needed to be linked (I assume) into the base gcc directory - will have a go at that and see what happens. Is the issue here that the variable as is empty, and so exec is trying to exec --32 ... instead of as --32 ...?
