Will cross compile of gcc create xgcc by any chance ? xgcc is trying to make references to the target specific libraries like libcrt, libc, et al while compiling libstdc++-v3. Tail of my config logs. configure: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES” configure:3885: /auto/nobackup-bgl-mitg-dev13/vinag/tmpv/sbtools.tmp.201302221200/sbtools/systemsw/tools/src/objdir_201302221200_linux-x86/gcc_stage1/./gcc/xgcc -B/auto/nobackup-bgl-mitg-dev13/vinag/tmpv/sbtools.tmp.201302221200/sbtools/systemsw/tools/src/objdir_201302221200_linux-x86/gcc_stage1/./gcc/ -B/ws/vinag-bgl/tools/bintools/linux-x86/gcc/201302221200/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ -B/ws/vinag-bgl/tools/bintools/linux-x86/gcc/201302221200/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib/ -isystem /ws/vinag-bgl/tools/bintools/linux-x86/gcc/201302221200/i686-pc-linux-gnu/include -isystem /ws/vinag-bgl/tools/bintools/linux-x86/gcc/201302221200/i686-pc-linux-gnu/sys-include -o conftest -m32 conftest.c >&5 /ws/vinag-bgl/tools/bintools/linux-x86/gcc/201302221200/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find crt1.o: No such file or directory /ws/vinag-bgl/tools/bintools/linux-x86/gcc/201302221200/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory /ws/vinag-bgl/tools/bintools/linux-x86/gcc/201302221200/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lc /ws/vinag-bgl/tools/bintools/linux-x86/gcc/201302221200/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find crtn.o: No such file or directory Why is this error ?
