Thankyou. I have been using these pages and the information in them. They have been rather useful, have provided some clues and guidance and helped me past a few problems. However, I suspect the instructions are quite GCC/glibc version specific. I see different instructions (on the web, in various places) for earlier versions of GCC/glibc. I'm also concerned about the amount of hacking which the user must perform on the source. I would expect this to vary by GCC/glibc version, and to be impossible or almost impossible to find out about, and possibly to vary by processor platform, where I am looking to target four different processors. I think if I can find a way to build without such hacking, I may still be in with a chance, but if it really is needed, and normally, my goal is practically impossible. I'm also not quite sure if the instructions are quite correct - or perhaps it is that the options being passed to GCC configure have misleading documentation. For example, the use of "--with-newlib" seems most odd, since we're using glibc.
