Hi,

I understand that you can just use previous versions of the library.  I
haven't got my cross-compiler to work yet but here is where I got to (this
might possibly help you):

1) I configured for the nearest machine i.e.

./configure --target=i386-bsd --host=sparc --prefix=/usr/gnu

   Make sure you eventually read note (6) below.

2) Then replaced two links:
          tm.h -> ./config/i386/386bsd.h was changed to
          tm.h -> ./config/i386/go32.h
   and
          tconfig.h -> ./config/i386/xm-i386.h was changed to
          tconfig.h -> ./config/i386/xm-dos.h

3) make LANGUAGES=C

4) This stopped at the stage that looked for an initial libgcc1.a so
   I used the original djgpp libgcc.a as my libgcc1.a library, and
   restarted the make.

5) I made the bunutils to get a cross linker and ar (they are very easy to
   install).

6) The make stopped because I had not specified where the cross compiler
   includes were going to be kept. This should have been an additional
   configure parameter at the very beginning i.e. add a 

	"--local-prefix=AREA WHERE THE DJGPP include AND libS ARE KEPT"

If anyone has a detailed installation sequence, I sure would like to hear
about it.
