I'm attempting to build a binutils and a cross compiler:

build=i386-pc-msdosdjgpp
host=i386-pc-msdosdjgpp
target=h8300-hms

First off, I discovered I had to replace "ln -s" with "cp -f" since symbolic
links are not supported by DJGPP (no surprise).  Perhaps there should be a
test in "configure" to do this automatically.

The major problem I am having is getting prefixes on the built files.  I've
included --"program-prefix=h8300-hms-" on the command line but that doesn't
make a difference.  I examined the makefile that is created in it does
contain "transform = s,^,h8300-hms-,".  when I run make, I end up with
"gas-new.exe", etc.  Running "make install" results in a multilevel
directory structure with some files with that prefix, but not the
executable.

Can anyone offer me a hint, please?

I'm also experiencing problems building the cross compiler (gcc-2.95.2), but
I suspect it is related to this problem.  When it attempts to build the
h8300 runtime library it chokes on assembler code, dumping out errors about
instructions not being i386 instructions.  I tried putting the h8300 version
of as.exe and ar.exe in the logical place (..\binutil\), but it didn't seem
to work.
