and so, the cross-compiler compilation saga continues... :)

i finally got binutils to work, with the advice from the newsgroup
(thanks, eli!), and now is the time for gcc itself. everything went
smoothly, until i came across one weird compilation dependency.

i'm trying to make an msdos->mips xcompiler, so i run this:

configure --host=i386-go32-msdos --target=mips-mips-elf --with-gnu-ld
--with-gnu-as

(this host seems to be the only one valid for dos...)  
and then:

make LANGUAGES=c

and after chewing on the the files for some time, make complaints that
it can't find file stab.h needed for compiling dbxout.o - and no wonder,
since stab.h does NOT come with the gcc source distribution, and it's
not mentioned in the makefile itself! (obviously some source file asks
for it...)    a file with this name does, however, come with djgpp, but
a gcc installation should not require files from outside its
distribution, should it? 

so i was wondering - should i make all the djgpp header files available
for gcc? or is this maybe due to some bug/problem in the gcc
configuration script? any ideas?

since i've never had much to do with compiling gcc itself, any help or
ideas would be appreciated...

thanks!

rob
