I am compiling (trying to) ARM cross compiler (on x86): ../gcc-4_8-branch/configure --prefix=/local_disk/hgreving/gcc_arm --program-suffix=-arm --target=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --disable-threads --enable-languages=c,c++ --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --disable-libmudflap --disable-libssp --disable-libstdcxx-pch --disable-shared --enable-lto --disable-nls --with-build-time-tools=/local_disk/hgreving/gcc_arm/bin Fails with checking dynamic linker characteristics... configure: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES. I am seeing 2 errors in ./arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libquadmath/config.log: 1) /local_disk/hgreving/gcc_arm/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: cannot find crt1.o: No such file or directory /local_disk/hgreving/gcc_arm/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory /local_disk/hgreving/gcc_arm/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: cannot find -lc /local_disk/hgreving/gcc_arm/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: cannot find crtn.o: No such file or directory collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status 2) conftest.c:15:19: fatal error: stdio.h: No such file or directory Any help/hint appreciated, Regards, Hendrik Greving
