Attention please,

I was attempting to install gdb (ver 3.5) on 
my Sun Sparc 1+ (Os4.1).  I used the config.gdb argument "sun4os4".
While doing so I received the following messages:

****************************

pygmy:[/usr/local/gdb]> make
cc -I.  -g -Bstatic  -target  -c  findvar.c
cc: Cannot cross-compile for "c"; directory "/usr/arch/sun4/c" doesn't exist.
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `findvar.o'

****************************

Just for kicks I created an empty directory called 
"/usr/arch/sun4/c" and re-ran make.  This time I received 
following:

****************************
 
pygmy:[/usr/local/gdb]> make
cc -I.  -g -Bstatic  -target  -c  findvar.c

******************************************

Forgive my ignorance but what the heck am I doing wrong?
(I acquired gdb from "prep.ai.mit.edu" via ftp just this
morning).

Thank You
