I'd like to thank everyone for trying to help me to get this working. I
did manage to get binutils to recompile by doing a
"cp -r /usr/arm-unknownlinuxaout/* /usr/", and even egcs compiled... but
glibc wouldn't. (The configure script wouldn't even work!) I eventually
got fed up and decided to start again... binutils compiled, egcs wouldn't
compile. Then egcs started giving me different error messages every time
I tried to compile it. Then even the configure script for binutils wouldn't
work;
This is just too hard for me; I think I'm going to delete my Arm Linux
partition and maybe try to get Linux running on the PC card if it's ever
supported.
But I would just like to say one final thank-you to everyone who tried
to help me, and to the people who develop ARM Linux for doing such a
cracking job.
Thanks.
JJF.
