Regenerating the GCC configure etc. isn't trivial. (I can't remember the
magics involved to make it work.) They shouldn't need regenerating
anyway.

From the top level of your source tree, run either:

    contrib/gcc_update --touch
or
    contrib/egcs_update --touch

and it should leave most of the pregenerated files alone. (2.95 has
egcs_update and 3+ has gcc_update but I don't know which one 2.96 has.)

This might instead be a make bug - but if you're running GNU/Linux then
you probably already have GNU make.

Thank you, that did the trick, and got a bit further, I need to troll 
through gcc.gnu.org for the new error

Many thanks for your help,

configure.in:420: m4: ERROR: Recursion limit of 1024 exceeded???

HELP....

I am having problems making a gcc cross compiler, I get the error below

I have the following in /export/dalmany/gdsm
gcc-2.96-20000731
newlib-1.8.1
binutils-2.11.90.0.8

I have created the directory /export/dalmany/gdsm/src and in it created the 
following links
bfd -> ../binutils-2.11.90.0.8/bfd
binutils -> ../binutils-2.11.90.0.8/binutils
config -> ../binutils-2.11.90.0.8/config
config.guess -> ../gcc-2.96-20000731/config.guess
config.if -> ../gcc-2.96-20000731/config.if
config.sub -> ../gcc-2.96-20000731/config.sub
configure -> ../gcc-2.96-20000731/configure
configure.in -> ../gcc-2.96-20000731/configure.in
gas -> ../binutils-2.11.90.0.8/gas
gcc -> ../gcc-2.96-20000731/gcc
include -> ../binutils-2.11.90.0.8/include
ld -> ../binutils-2.11.90.0.8/ld
libgloss -> ../newlib-1.8.1/libgloss
libiberty -> ../binutils-2.11.90.0.8/libiberty
Makefile.in -> ../gcc-2.96-20000731/Makefile.in
move-if-change -> ../gcc-2.96-20000731/move-if-change
newlib -> ../newlib-1.8.1/newlib
opcodes -> ../binutils-2.11.90.0.8/opcodes
texinfo -> ../binutils-2.11.90.0.8/texinfo

I then did the following
cd /export/dalmany/gdsm/build
host=i386-redhat-linux
target=sparc-sun-solaris2
prefix=/sun
i=$prefix/bin
../src/configure --target=$target --prefix=$prefix --verbose
make all install

which gave me this....
<snip>
make[3]: Leaving directory `/export/dalmany/gdsm/build/ld'
make[2]: Leaving directory `/export/dalmany/gdsm/build/ld'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/export/dalmany/gdsm/build/ld'
make[1]: Entering directory `/export/dalmany/gdsm/build/gcc'
cd ../../src/gcc && autoheader
configure.in:420: m4: ERROR: Recursion limit of 1024 exceeded, use -L<N> to

autoconf: tracing failed
make[1]: *** [../../src/gcc/cstamp-h.in] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/export/dalmany/gdsm/build/gcc'
make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2

Please can anyone help
