Thanks for your reply, Ian. I have the binaries for the 4.6 ARM
cross-compiler on this machine. There is a arm-linux-gnueabi-as
file in
/usr/bin. Can I not use that assembler? If so, how to tell
configure?
GCC and the binutils are designed to work together, such that if you
configure both with the same --prefix option GCC will use the binutils
assembler. Unfortunately I do not know of a way to tell GCC to use a
arm-linux-gnueabi-as assembler.
--with-as=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-as should do the trick. But yes,
just install a fresh new binutils in the same prefix as your GCC, life
is much simpler then.
