I've gotten gcc 2.2.1/gas 1.38.1 hosted on my i386 machine cross compiling
to a 680x0 environment (sun3), however,

In porting ld I run into the following problem:

    the .o files produced by gas (a68) are 680x0-endian, but ld itself
    is compiled by 'gcc -b i386-sysv' (non-680x0 endian) so when it looks
    for the magic number in the .o file is says no deal because
    (0x07010000 & 0xffff) != 0407 (note octal), and I assume things
    will get worse down the line.

So exactly how to I go about producing a ld-cross?

I'm working with binutils-1.9.

Thanks.
