You are trying to use ARM RVCT linker and assembler as backend to gcc which is not going to work. The assembly syntax is quite different. So the assembly output generated by gcc can not be consumed by RVCT assembler. Btw. I am not sure if you can use ARM tools to build gcc.

Hi , I am trying to build a Native compiler for ARM. I will use the compiler on ARM target to generate ARM target . I tried below syntax to configure the GCC on linux os. ../gcc-3.4.2/configure --enable-languages=c,c++ --target=arm-elf --host=arm-linux --with-as=../../root/ARM_builds/dist_118_linux-pentium/RVCT/Programs/2.2/453 /linux-pentium/armasm --with-ld=../../root/ARM_builds/dist_118_linux-pentium/RVCT/Programs/2.2/453 /linux-pentium/armlink --with-cpu-ARM --build=i386-redhat-linux But i am getting error when trying to bootstrap it. I gave command "make bootstrap ".It is giving error as guessing bigendian ... unknown configure: error: unknown endianess - sorry /root/venkat/gcc-3.4.2/libiberty/configure: line 3289: exit: please: numeric argument required /root/venkat/gcc-3.4.2/libiberty/configure: line 3289: exit: please: numeric argument required make: *** [configure-libiberty] Error 1 So where in configure, i need to specify the endianness... MAny Thanks, Venkat.
