I am trying to build gcc-4.3.2 as a cross compiler for the Motorola m68hc11 target on a standard, clean installation of Ubuntu 11.10 32-bit. I also want to build binutils (2.19) so I included the binutils-2.19 directory (without stripping the version from the name) inside the gcc-4.3.2 directory.
The versions have been chosen arbitrarily in the thought of minimizing the port's potential compatibility issues with newer versions while still using rather contemporary iterations of both gcc and binutils.
I have downloaded the source code for the MPFR, MPC and GMP libs from gcc/gnu/org/pub/gcc/infrastructure and included it in the gcc-4.3.2 directory in corresponding directories (stripping the version number) so they are built together with GCC and binutils.
My srcdir is /home/mihai/licenta/gcc-4.3.2 and my objdir is /home/mihai/licenta/hcs12x. Everything has r/w/x rights. The configure command I have run is:
cd hcs12x
../gcc-4.3.2/configure --prefix=/home/mihai/licenta --enable-languages=c --target=m68hc11
I am not sure if the configure parameters are enough, nor am I sure whether the name for the target is m68hc11 or some other variation: m68hc11-elf, m68hc11-linux or m68hc1x. The config output says: "checking target system type ... m68hc11-unknown-none" so it is not clear to me whether gcc recognizes the target.
Building the compiler with make fails with the infamous error:
"configure: error: cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile"
while in directory hcs12x/m68hc11/libgcc
Here is a fragment of the respective config.log:

Any help is greatly appreciated, both with the issue at hand (permission denied) as well as with potential omissions / mistakes I've surely made.
