Hello!
I stumbled over something misleading in "Installing GCC: Configuration"
< http://egcs.cygnus.com/install/configure.html >. It says
% srcdir/configure [target] [options]
...
target must be specified when configuring a cross compiler; examples
of valid targets would be i960-rtems, m68k-coff, sh-elf, etc.
I think it would be good if the reader's attention were drawn to the
fact that specifying just target implies that host defaults to target,
i. e. that no cross compiler is made in the end or even that the make
process fails.
In order to truly build a cross compiler,
% srcdir/configure --target=target [options]
has to be used.
Best regards
