I named it so, by looking at the following documentation. http://gcc.gnu.org/install/old.html there were options like i386bsd, or "i386 can be cpu type and system type can be linux-gnu", then is it like that i should not use target system name as "i386-linux-gnu" > If it is an old PC/i486 board with RHL6.2, then telling that would be > quite sane. > > And the GCC version on the $build system is totally unclear... > > And the version of the GCC sources being tried is totally unclear... > > If wanting anyone to tell any "secrets" oh his/hers, it is quite clear > that one cannot keep > so many "secrets"... > Sorry for this... here are the details.
