problem building libgloss (was RE: problem building newlib)

["Bruce Adams" <bruadams at tycoint dot com>]

Hi (again) all,
              I am trying to build newlib under cygwin for an m68k-coff
target.  However it fails to find a makefile for the libgloss/m68k 
subdirectory.  See below:

m68k-coff-ranlib libnosys.a
make[4]: Leaving directory
`/cygdrive/c/brucea/downloads/gcc/crossgcc/build-newl
ib/m68k-coff/m68000/libgloss/libnosys'
make[4]: Entering directory
`/cygdrive/c/brucea/downloads/gcc/crossgcc/build-new
lib/m68k-coff/m68000/libgloss/m68k'
make[4]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
make[4]: Leaving directory
`/cygdrive/c/brucea/downloads/gcc/crossgcc/build-newl
ib/m68k-coff/m68000/libgloss/m68k'
make[3]: *** [stmp-bsp] Error 2
make[3]: Leaving directory
`/cygdrive/c/brucea/downloads/gcc/crossgcc/build-newl
ib/m68k-coff/m68000/libgloss'
make[2]: *** [multi-do] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/cygdrive/c/brucea/downloads/gcc/crossgcc/build-newl
ib/m68k-coff/libgloss'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/cygdrive/c/brucea/downloads/gcc/crossgcc/build-newl
ib/m68k-coff/libgloss'
make: *** [all-target-libgloss] Error 2
Building libc failed


One other curiousity I note.  When building in the each of the 
newlib subdirectories:

rm -f libm.a
rm -rf tmp
mkdir tmp
cd tmp; \
  for i in math/lib.a common/lib.a machine/lib.a; do \
    m68k-coff-ar x ../$i; \
done; \
m68k-coff-ar rc ../libm.a *.o
m68k-coff-ar: ../machine/lib.a: No such file or directory    <--- Is this
bad?
m68k-coff-ranlib libm.a
rm -rf tmp
make[4]: Leaving directory
`/cygdrive/c/brucea/downloads/gcc/crossgcc/bl/m68k-co
ff/m68040/newlib/libm'

Thanks to all,

Note: My previous problem newlib not building at all 
      (for anyone else who may suffer from it) seems to have been 
      corrected by one of several things (I'll have to go back and check 
      which later).  
       a) Building under the bash shell rather than DOS
         - not sure what this would fix as DOS immediately goes into bash
       b) Allowing newlib to guess the host setting instead of forcing it
          to i686-pc-cygwin (which is necessary for gcc & binutils)
       c) Deleting the directory targeted by --prefix
