I'm on a sparc, trying to build a cross sytem to support
386 development (djgcc, netbsd, freebsd, linux)

I have a cross-compile working, a cross-assembler which works,
and objdump works...

When I do objdump --info I get:
a.outt-sunos-big
 (header big endian, data big endian)
  sparc
a.out-i386-bsd
 (header little endian, data little endian)
  sparc
  i386
a.out-netbsd-386
 (header little endian, data little endian)
  sparc
  i386
coff-i386
 (header little endian, data little endian)
  i386
coff-sparc-lynx
 (header big endian, data big endian)
  sparc
a.out-sparc-lynx
 (header big endian, data big endian)
  sparc
srec
 (header big endian, data big endian)
  sparc
  i386
symbolsrec
 (header big endian, data big endian)
  sparc
  i386

            a.out-sunos-big a.out-i386-bsd a.out-netbsd-386 coff-i386 coff-sparc-lynx 
      sparc a.out-sunos-big a.out-i386-bsd a.out-netbsd-386 --------- coff-sparc-lynx 
       i386 --------------- a.out-i386-bsd a.out-netbsd-386 coff-i386 --------------- 

            a.out-sparc-lynx srec symbolsrec 
      sparc a.out-sparc-lynx srec symbolsrec 
       i386 ---------------- srec symbolsrec 

Which looks reasonable...

But I can't cross-link...

I've done permutations on
	GNUTARGET=default
	GNUTARGET=coff-i386
and all types of other incantations...

I consistently get:
leisner AT gasface$ gnu-ld -v foo.o
ld version 2.4 (with BFD 2.4)
gnu-ld: warning: i386 architecture of input file `foo.o' is incompatible with sparc output
gnu-ld:a.out: can't set architecture: File in wrong format

Is there a way to do an ld --info (link objdump --info)

Advice?
