Can't compile crosstool-ng-1.15.2 on OpenSuse Linux

[Simon Gornall <sgornall@apple.com>]

Hi there, 

I just downloaded crosstool-ng-1.15.2 and tried to compile under Suse Linux, to make myself an arm cross-compiler. Unfortunately I can't get past the first stage:

xanadu% wget http://crosstool-ng.org/download/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng-1.15.2.tar.bz2
xanadu% ./configure --prefix=/opt
xanadu% tar xjvf crosstool-ng-1.15.2.tar.bz2
xanadu% cd crosstool-ng-1.15.2/
xanadu% ./configure --prefix=/opt

I tried to see if menu.h was really there but somehow being missed:

xanadu%   find . -name menu.h
xanadu%   

It wasn't there, so I thought I'd redo-from-scratch  and tried:

xanadu% make mrproper
  RM     'ct-ng'
  RM     'scripts/crosstool-NG.sh'
  RM     'scripts/saveSample.sh'
  RM     'scripts/showTuple.sh'
  RM     'paths'
  RM     'config/configure.in'
  RM     'kconfig'
  RM     'docs/ct-ng.1'
  RM     'docs/ct-ng.1.gz'
  RM     'Makefile'
  RM     'autostuff'
xanadu%  autoconf
xanadu% !./configure && make

... but still got the same errors.  Am I doing something stupid, or is this a known bug ?

Cheers
	Simon
