I'm having just the same 'kind' of problem. I've compiled gcc 2.0 on a
CONVEX to generate i386 code. The whole make procedure for gcc fails
for exactly the same reason you give.

The first stage of your job is complete.. You should have a new gcc
that will generate 68020 assembler on your sparc. try ./gcc -S test.c
and look at the .s file generated..

You now need an assembler. Try getting gas and see if you can use it
generate 68020 code. Compile for it for the 68020, rename it to 'as'
and use a line like

./gcc -B./ -I./'wherever' -c test.c

and see if you get 68020 objects.

I can do just this but gas insists on generating vax binaries and not
i386 binaries.... Now I'm lost too.

I think the next step is to build a loader  that will take the 68020
objects and with the correct library files generate the executable.

prep.ai.mit.edu has a file binutils.????.Z that contains the gnu
loader. However when I built this on the convex it insists that the
objects generated and the libraries are not the correct format...

Hope I helped a little. Let me know if you get the whole chain
working.

Any gurus out there who could shed some light on this?
