Error building for mips variant

Error building for mips variant

[Rama Singh]

Hi,
I am changing gcc for a mips variant. I added my
target in configure.in, config.sub and gcc/config.gcc
with appropriate entries.
In gcc/config.gcc, I added a line like

mytarget-*-elf)
     tm_file="mips/elf.h"
     tmake_file=mips/t-elf
    ;;

basically i want something like mytarget-unknown-elf
to build by using default mips thing.
but it throwing an error

xgcc:installation problem, cannotexec 'mips-tfile':No
such file or directory.

What could be the probable reason for this? I have
mips-tfile.c in gcc/ directory.

Please help

Regards
Rama

Configure with the --with-gnu-as option.

Yeah I tried --with-gnu-as and also --with-gnu-ar
but no change...

They I suspect you made a mistake.

Use -v to see what commands gcc is emitting.  Look at the specs file to
see where the mips-tfile command comes from.  Notice that it is from
ASM_FINAL_SPEC.  Notice that ASM_FINAL_SPEC depends on MASK_GAS.  Notice
that config.gcc sets MASK_GAS depending on the --with-gnu-as option. 
Debug the gcc build process and/or gcc binary to figure out why this
doesn't work for you.

You didn't mention the gcc version, but I assume you have gcc-3.3.  The
answer may be slightly different for other gcc versions.  For instance,
if you use the mainline cvs sources, you shouldn't see any mips-tfile
stuff at all unless you ask for it.
