Here's your problem: binutils and gcc don't support compiling "in the > source tree". You need to create a separate, empty build directory > *outside* the src directory, and run configure/make in there.
I did just that. I downloaded binutils-2.21 and expanded everything into a new empty folder. Here is where I downloaded everything to: /usr/local/binutils-2.21. /binutils-2.21 is a new folder. I changed directories to that folder, executed the .configure line, in my case, ./configure --target=mips-elf and I then entered "make" (without the double quotes). I got most of the way through, but keeled over in the ld subfolder with the error message shown above. The make file changed the active path to /usr/local/bin-utils-2.21/ld The make file then executed: LIB_PATH='' /bin/sh ./genscripts.sh "." "/usr/local/lib" "/usr/local" "/usr/local" i686-pc-cygwin mips-unknown-elf mips-elf "elf32ebmip" "/usr/local/lib /lib /usr/lib" no elf32ebmip "mips-elf" You can type the above command line directly and get the same error, namely: : No such file or directory line 2: ./emulparams/elf32bmip.sh The shell script thinks that ./emulparams/elf32bmip.sh does not exist. From its point of view it does not, because of Windows path / Cygwin path differences. The shell script thinks of the path as C:/.../elf32bmip.sh for whatever reason. The relative path does not matter.
