	thanks for your reply, I'll investigate later.

your are right, I have to remove the C++ support, below is my config.status
file:


#!/bin/sh
# This file was generated automatically by configure.  Do not edit.
# This directory was configured as follows:
../gcc-2.95.2/configure
--with-gcc-version-trigger=/tar-files/gcc-src/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/version.c
--host=i586-pc-linux-gnu --target=a29k-coff --prefix=/sw/newtools
--with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --with-newlib --enable-languages=c -v
--norecursion 
# 

but I got the error msg:

	../../gcc-2.95.2/gcc/combine.c:3362: warning: integer overflow in expression
	../../gcc-2.95.2/gcc/combine.c:3367: warning: integer overflow in expression

what does this mean ?

thanks in advance
