ok, started trying to compile the cross-compiler.  got as far as cccp.c and
then it puked with an error about how sys_errlist was getting redefined.

out of cccp.c:

#if defined(bsd4_4)
extern const char *const sys_errlist[];
#else
extern char *sys_errlist[];
#endif

we are svsv here and not bsd4_4, so cccp.c is trying to use: extern char 
*sys_errlist[];

well, /usr/include/errno.h has already defined the BSD style sys_errlist[]
as: extern const char *const sys_errlist[]; 

after i commented out that line in errno.h the compile got further along, but
now i have a new problem:

root@blackhole> make CFLAGS="-g -mv8 -O2"
cc -DCROSS_COMPILE -DIN_GCC -DSVR4  -g -mv8 -O2   -o cccp cccp.o cexp.o \
  version.o obstack.o ` case "cc" in "cc") echo "alloca.o" ;; esac `

ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to cccp
make: *** [cccp] Error 1
root@blackhole> 

what is going on here??  what am i missing??  is there a library that gcc isn't
picking up on? if so why? it worked fine before i set the gcc source tree to
do a cross-compiler.

thanks,
