I'm finding it difficult to build GCC cross-compilers. There is advice and patches all over the place, often for outdated GCC versions. I am sure I did not come up with the old "make" and "make install" method for the bootstrap phase myself, I must have found it somewhere, and it did work with 4.5.3 and some other older versions. Something must have changed in the meantime. Is there a "canonical" way to build GCC cross-compilers? Or some place to find the "right" information for a given version? The information under http://gcc.gnu.org/install/build.html is not enough, and I didn't have much luck on the newlib website either. Where can I find information about makefile targets like the "all-gcc" or "install-gcc" you mentioned? I tried "make help" to no avail. They're not mentioned under http://gcc.gnu.org/install/ either. Thanks again, R. Diez
