I need to add fortran support to a cross compiler that my company uses. We got the compiler from codesourcery but it lacks fortran support, so I'm trying to build one from scratch. First I'm just trying to replicate the functionality that we currently have (C/C++) cross compiler from i686-linux to powerpc-linux. But I can't get that to compile. I get this error: i686-redhat-linux-gcc -c -g -O2 -DIN_GCC -DCROSS_DIRECTORY_STRUCTURE -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wcast-qual -Wold-style-definition -Wc++-compat -Wmissing-format-attribute -pedantic -Wno-long-long -Wno-variadic-macros -Wno-overlength-strings -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DGENERATOR_FILE -I. -Ibuild -I/tmp/gccbuild/gcc-4.4.2/gcc -I/tmp/gccbuild/gcc-4.4.2/gcc/build -I/tmp/gccbuild/gcc-4.4.2/gcc/../include -I/tmp/gccbuild/gcc-4.4.2/gcc/../libcpp/include -I/tmp/gccbuild/objdir/./gmp -I/tmp/gccbuild/gcc-4.4.2/gmp -I/tmp/gccbuild/objdir/./mpfr -I/tmp/gccbuild/gcc-4.4.2/mpfr -I/tmp/gccbuild/gcc-4.4.2/gcc/../libdecnumber -I/tmp/gccbuild/gcc-4.4.2/gcc/../libdecnumber/dpd -I../libdecnumber -o build/genmodes.o /tmp/gccbuild/gcc-4.4.2/gcc/genmodes.c /tmp/ccDxF9dK.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/ccDxF9dK.s:19: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `pushl' /tmp/ccDxF9dK.s:21: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `movl' /tmp/ccDxF9dK.s:24: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `subl' /tmp/ccDxF9dK.s:26: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `movl' ...
