 Hi

        We are in need of a CrossAssembler whose host platform 
  would be i80386 machine working om MSDOS and the target machine 
  would be PowerPc403GA(Embedded Controller) .The file format for 
  target machine should be ELF .
       
      We have downloaded Binary Utilities file(i.e bnutils-2.7.tar.gz) 
  from simtelnet(GNU) site ,ran it on i386-LINUX machine to 
  generate CrossAssembler with host as i80386-LINUX machine and target
  machine as PowerPc with ELF format.

      Now we want to port it to MSDOS.Is it possible to generate
  the required CrossAssembler from this package by specifying host and   target
options to the configure script  i.e.
   configure  --host=i386-intel-msdos  --target=powerpc-unknown-elf   
      
      As you ported many GNU softwares to DOS ,so please tell us how 
to proceed.Also tell whether pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/bnu252s.zip 
  package can help us? If yes then  which Operating System(i.e.MSDOS  or LINUX)

  will be required to run it ? The mainproblems which we are facing are that 
we can't unzip this package in linux because it is not compressed by  GZIP and
if we unzip it in MSDOS using PKUNZIP then filenames get truncated,  moreover
all the configure files are  shell scripts(Linux) .
  
  
  File name truncation problem can be solved by istalling WINDOWS95 but still
it can't execute shell scripts.Please tell how to deal with this problem ?

  Please write it in detail.

  We will be grateful if you can help us in this regard.     

  An early reply would be appreciated.


  Thanks & regards
  Mohit.
  S/W Er.
