Yes, you're right. I did keep on searching for the solution and discovered those changes since GCC 4.2 (if my memory is good) about --sysroot option. Si I removed the local-prefix and changed to sysroot and now libgcc is linked properly with glibc 2.7 compiled with the bootstrap compiler. I now fail on another problem : psignal seem's to be defined several times both in libiberty and system files for libgomp : : : : make[4]: quittant le répertoire « /home/sandbox/cdks/test/cdk/build/sh4-unknown-linux-gnu/libgcc » make[3]: quittant le répertoire « /home/sandbox/cdks/test/cdk/build/sh4-unknown-linux-gnu/libgcc » Checking multilib configuration for libgomp...

The reference is probably coming from the libc.so linker script. You probably need to use --sysroot when you run configure. Ian
