I am not very sure, which mailing list this mail is more suitable] I am trying to build cross compiler from cygwin window to linux. I did configured and build binutils as follows: <source dir>/binutils-2.14/configure --host=i686-pc-cygwin --target=i686-pc-linux-gn u --prefix=<tool dir>/host/i686-pc-cygwin && make This worked well. Later I tried to compile gcc as follows: <source dir>/gcc-3.3.1-3/configure --host=i686-pc-cygwin --target=i686-pc-linux-gnu --prefix=<tool dir>/host/i686-pc-cygwin --with-newlib --disable-threads This ended up in following error message: /usr/local/gnu/tools/host/i686-pc-cygwin/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot open crti.o: No such file or directory collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [libgcc_s.so] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/gnu/obj/gcc-3.3.1-3/gcc' make[1]: *** [libgcc.a] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/gnu/obj/gcc-3.3.1-3/gcc' make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2 When I executed "find ./ -name crt?.*" at command prompt, I got following output: ./src/gcc-3.3.1-3/gcc/config/arm/crti.asm ./src/gcc-3.3.1-3/gcc/config/arm/crtn.asm ./src/gcc-3.3.1-3/gcc/config/fr30/crti.asm ./src/gcc-3.3.1-3/gcc/config/fr30/crtn.asm ./src/gcc-3.3.1-3/gcc/config/h8300/crti.asm ./src/gcc-3.3.1-3/gcc/config/h8300/crtn.asm ./src/gcc-3.3.1-3/gcc/config/ia64/crti.asm ./src/gcc-3.3.1-3/gcc/config/ia64/crtn.asm ./src/gcc-3.3.1-3/gcc/config/ip2k/crt0.S ./src/gcc-3.3.1-3/gcc/config/m68k/crti.s ./src/gcc-3.3.1-3/gcc/config/m68k/crtn.s ./src/gcc-3.3.1-3/gcc/config/mcore/crti.asm ./src/gcc-3.3.1-3/gcc/config/mcore/crtn.asm ./src/gcc-3.3.1-3/gcc/config/mips/crti.asm ./src/gcc-3.3.1-3/gcc/config/mips/crtn.asm ./src/gcc-3.3.1-3/gcc/config/mmix/crti.asm ./src/gcc-3.3.1-3/gcc/config/mmix/crtn.asm ./src/gcc-3.3.1-3/gcc/config/sh/crt1.asm ./src/gcc-3.3.1-3/gcc/config/sh/crti.asm ./src/gcc-3.3.1-3/gcc/config/sh/crtn.asm Out of these files none belongs to i386 architecture. I am not sure if corrosponding file is missing from gcc source code or I am making some mistake in configuration.
