Hi,

I'm trying to cross-compile gdb 6.4 for an x86 target but do not seem  
to be able to get past configuration, which dies with the following:

I get the same error when trying 6.3 too.  Has anyone seen this before?

many thanks

Just use make all-gdb.  You've omitted your configure line which is
more likely to be the problem.  If you're getting a GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES
error, then configure tried to use $CC to link a test program and
failed.
