Hi,

I realize that this isn't a unix ng, but I can't seem to find the help that
I need elsewhere.  I downloaded  djcrx202.zip and the outdated binutils and gcc
packages that it recommends building against and got what looks to be a
successful build.  I say "looks to be" as there were a couple of statements
that are a bit confusing:

mv: libgcc1.a: No such file or directory
You must find a way to make libgcc1.a
make[1]: *** [libgcc1.cross] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/Delorie/gcc-2.7.2'
tail -2 ./gcc-2.7.2/make.out | grep "way to make libgcc1.a"
You must find a way to make libgcc1.a
echo That error was expected.  Make of gcc succeeded. \
        > /dev/null
gcc -O3 -m486 -fno-strength-reduce src/stub/stubify.c -o stubify
gcc -O3 -m486 -fno-strength-reduce src/stub/stubedit.c -o stubedit
echo Done > /dev/null


So there was an expected error and the statement that I must find a 
way to make libgcc1.a, but then the statement that gcc had been made.
I couldn't finad any binaries in the src trees that suggested a
successful make of dos-gcc, but thought I would try the 'make install'
anyway, and got the following errors:

Q:/usr/local/src/Delorie# make install

I included the non-error stuff in case it provides a hint as to why things
aren't working.  

Again, I dont'  mean to offend by posting such a *nixy question to
this ng, but I've tried more appropriate channels and am still
very stuck.  I'd really like to get this cross-compiler going so I'd
appreciate anything you might suggest.
