Hi,
I'am trying to build the linux toolchain for my pentium iv machine, specified the target as i686-pc-linux-gnu.Used the versions
-kernel-2.4.22,binutils-2.13.2.1,gcc-3.2.1 to begin the toolchain build.Error occured during configuration part of glibc.It is as follows :
$ ../glibc-2.3.2/configure --host=$TARGET --prefix="/usr"
--enable-add-ons --with-headers=${TARGET_PREFIX}/include configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use
--host.

*** These critical programs are missing or too old: gcc *** Check the INSTALL file for required versions.Why this error occurs?If I specify the target as i386-linux ,this problem does not occur.Isn't the target type specified correct?Which is the target type for pentium IV system.I am using Red HAT Linux 9 ,gcc version 3.2.2 on my system.If the target type is not the problem,then what else may the problem.Pls help.
Kurian.
