Hi all,

Is there any particular reason that this wouldn't work?  I've
got a freshly checked-out -current source tree, and I've tried
building thusly:

./build.sh -U -O ../obj -m i386 -N 1 -w ../nbmake -V HOST_CC=gcc42 -V  
HOST_CXX=g++42 tools

(and also without the HOST_CC and HOST_CXX flags, and also with
-m evbarm)

but after a little while the build falls over thusly:


*** Configuration amd64-unknown-freebsd6.1 not supported
Configure in /usr/home/andrew/rtos-comp/netbsd/obj/tools/gcc/build/ 
gcc failed, exiting.

Stop.
nbmake: stopped in /usr/home/andrew/rtos-comp/netbsd/src/tools/gcc

Is this an indication that there is something fundamentally
wrong with FreeBSD/amd64, or is this just a config file case
statement that hasn't been taught that version 6.1 is OK?

I this seems to be working fine on my older pentium3 box, but that
is destined to become the crash-box for a bunch of experimental
configurations, and so is not really going to be up to repeating
the exercise.  It's also vastly slower, of course.

Best regards,
