Wrong config.log, that's the top-level one, which exited with status 0 (as shown at the end) You need to look in the config.log which actually failed, as explained at http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/FAQ#configure_suffix As it says there, "You might recognize that several test programs failed during the configuration, but some of these failures are non-critical." I already suggested that you look in $target/libgcc/config.log, for your system that would be i686-pc-linux-gnu/libgcc/config.log That might not be the right directory, it's just my guess, you should look in the directory where configure failed. Again, that's explained at http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/FAQ#configure_suffix If you want help you really need to be less vague than "not knowing something about the right kind of object files" and you need to (carefully!) read the documentation which people have gone to the trouble of writing.
