I have been following the tutorial on building a GCC Cross-Compiler, but I am having difficulties actually building binutils.

Here are the commands I have run in cygwin so far:

export TARGET=i386-elf
export PREFIX=/os-gcc
cd /binutils
/binutils-2.9.1/configure --target=$TARGET --prefix=$PREFIX --disable-nls
make all install

After I run the make command I get these errors:

Firstly, I recommend getting the latest Binutils (2.17) rather than a several years out of date version. If that doesn't help then check your Cygwin setup and make sure you installed Cygwin's GCC.

Oh, I thought 2.9.1 was the latest. Anyways 2.17 builds without a problem.

Thanks for your help.
