Oh dear, I think I have been rather silly..

I recently posted a message to this news group concenring my
inability to produce a sun4-sun3 cross compiler from gcc2.1.

Like others, I had built the initial compiler and then failed when
attempting to build the new compiler in the stage1 directory....

And so it should fail. At this point one has a compiler that runs on
a Sun4 and compiles to Sun3 (Well, it will do once I have sorted out
a library..). Trying to recompile gcc with this stage1 compiler is bound to
fail. why? Because it will try and produce a sun3-sun3 compiler. (That's
correct isn't it?)

So, I believe that the documentation on building gcc ought to be a little
more helpful in directing one on how to build a cross compiler. 

I have got my thinking straight haven't I?

I still need to understand how to make the gcc-cross use the gas-sun3 
and libraries; any pointers?

A humble hacker,

Neil (D).
