Can you give the whole build command. Can you paste relevant 10-20 lines above the error. I tried it like this and got it installed. ~/gcc-4.1.0/configure --target=arm-elf --prefix=/home/pro/armenv/ --with-float=soft --with-newlib --without-headers --enable-languages=c --disable-nls --disable-shared --disable-thread /home/pro/armenv/lib/gcc/arm-elf/4.1.0/libgcc.a /home/pro/armenv/lib/gcc/arm-elf/4.1.0/thumb/libgcc.a Please provide more details so that we can help you out. > I've tried every configuration option I can think of to build libgcc > without floating point, but have not managed to do so. > > As I said, I'm obviously doing something dumb, and any help in > figuring out what I should do instead would be greatly appreciated. > > Thanks, > > Marty >
