Build Powerpc-motorola-ebi cross compiler error/gcc-2.95.2/Solaris8

[Ramesh Veema <ramesh at catapult dot com>]

Hi,

Iam  trying to build a CROSS-GCC compiller for  powerpc-motorola-eabi
and
I am getting  "C compiler cannot create executables";
Hardware & software

Workstation : SUNSparc
Operating system : Solaris8 (SUNOS 5.8)
Latest GCC built with Native SUNWorshop C compiler 5.0  :  gcc-2.95.2

I have  build  the latest  binutils and i have generated Cross
compilation tools
such as powerpc-motorola-eabi-as, ld, etc...

I did the make distclean and  configure the latest gcc -2.95.2  as
follows for
cross compilation

 ./configure  --target=powerpc-motorola-eabi

and  cd gcc directory and Config.log file shows the  following error.

configure:6044: checking for strerror in -lcposix
configure:6063: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c -lcposix   1>&5
ld: fatal: library -lcposix: not found
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to conftest

and later i  issued a "make"  and the build went for long time and
later responded with

"C compiler  cannot create executables" and Iam confused.

If any one have idea please help me out in identifying  to do better
Cross compilation



Regards
Ramesh V.
