X-No-Archive: Yes

I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I've read everything I can 
find about building djgpp as a cross compiler, but I haven't seen 
anything that discusses this problem.

I am building using the stock GCC and binutil source code:
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.18.tar.bz2
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-4.2.1/gcc-4.2.1.tar.bz2

My host is i686-pc-linux-gnu and my target is i586-pc-msdosdjgpp. The 
directory structure containing my cross compiling files (prefix)is 
/db/xlocal.

My build compiler is "gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 
4.1.1-21)" from the latest Debian Linux distribution.

I've unpacked the binutils and gcc source files into /db directory, and 
created binutils-djgpp and gcc-djgpp for building. My path includes 
/db/xlocal/bin which has the binaries from binutils (i.e. 
i586-pc-msdosdjgpp-ld)

My procedure for building binutils:
cd /db/binutils-djgpp
../binutils-2.18/configure --prefix=/db/xlocal/ 
--target=i586-pc-msdosdjgpp --disable-nls
make
make install

Next I install the cross compile files from www.delorie.com
cd /db/xlocal/i586-pc-msdosdjgpp/
unzip -a ../../djcrx203.zip
cd /db/xlocal/i586-pc-msdosdjgpp/lib
patch < ../cross/patch.lib

Next step is to build GCC:
cd /db/gcc-djgpp
../gcc-4.2.1/configure --prefix=/db/xlocal --target=i586-pc-msdosdjgpp 
--with-headers=/db/xlocal/i586-pc-msdosdjgpp/include/ 
--enable-languages=c --disable-nls

I get as far as building libiberty which dies during configure:

Can anyone advise me how to get past this point?
