After trying to compile gcc for 32 bit I get: checking for shared libgcc... configure: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES. make[1]: *** [configure-target-libstdc++-v3] Error 1 Can someone tell me what this means? I used: ../configure --prefix=/storage/GCC-32-i686/opt --disable-nls --enable-languages=c,c++ --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --with-newlib --target=i686-elf and set $PATH to binutils that I've compiled previously. r.
