Problems building gcc-2.95 as cross compiler.

Hi.
I have some problems building a gcc-2.95 cross compiler from sources
on a FreeBSD/i386 5.0-CURRENT system.  Target should be mips (r3000).
The build directory I use is 'gcc_build', so I did a

$ cd gcc_build
$ ../gcc-2.95/configure --target=mips-ecoff --prefix=~robert/gcc_install
[...]
$ make

After a while, I get complains from xgcc that as does not accept a
'-G' parameter.  I did a binutils 2.10 build with the same target
before, so I backed up the original and moved binutils_build/gas/as-new
to /usr/libexec/elf/as.  After that, the error seems to be gone, but
xgcc stops with

$ make

Hmm... so I tried

$ cd gcc
$ make mips-tfile

gcc -c -DCROSS_COMPILE -DIN_GCC    -g   -DHAVE_CONFIG_H    -I. -I../../gcc-2.95/gcc -I../../gcc-2.95/gcc/config -I../../gcc-2.95/gcc/../include ../../gcc-2.95/gcc/mips-tfile.c
../../gcc-2.95/gcc/mips-tfile.c:673: mips/a.out.h: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/home/robert/gcc_build/gcc.

How can I build this thing?
