4.2.0 tool chain build on Solaris 2.7

4.2.0 tool chain build on Solaris 2.7

[John Morrison]

Hi all.

I'm obviously doing something wrong (stupid?).

I'm trying to build a gnu 4.2.0 tool chain on Solaris 2.7 host for a
powerpc-eabi target.  The sources are:
binutils-2.17
gcc-core-4.2.0
gcc-g++-4.2.1
newlib-1.16.0

The source, build and install directories are all separate from each
other.

The binutils build and install appears to be ok.  The GCC build and
install appears to be ok.

But when I do a compile, it appears that the wrong assembler is used.
Here is a snippet of the "-v" output (I've "trimmed" out stuff due to
size):

I've already done a successful install of the same tool chain on a Linux
i686 system.
The Sun uname info:  SunOS merlin 5.7 Generic_106541-11 sun4u sparc
SUNW,Ultra-60
The PATH variable value during the GCC build and install was:
/home/morr_jo/work/ToolChain/sunCross/cross-4.2.0/bin:./:/usr/sbin:/usr/
bin:/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/gnu/bin:/usr/ccs/bin

No where in that path is the path to the assembler identified in the
listing above.

I obiously do not understand something about Sun (no jokes please) or
unix in general.
Any help would be appreciated. If you need more info, please let me
know.

Thanks
