Problems configuring rtems-cygwin-m68k

[Tim Riches]

I'm having problems configuring Rtems for m68k-elf.

Environment:
cygwin 1.1.6 under NT4 SP6
binutils package (2000-1221-1)
newlib package  (1.9.0)
gcc  (2.95.2-5)
rtems (4.5.0)
PATH  /bin    /usr/local/bin    /usr

I have successfully built the binutils with configure options:
/home/build-bin
/binutils-20001221-1/configure --target=m68k-elf --prefix=/usr/local
make
make install

I have also built gcc successfully(?) having previously set up links for
newlib, libgloss, include, gcc.
/home/build-gcc
/gcc-2.95.2-5/configure --target=m68k-elf --prefix=/usr/local
--enable-languages=c,c++  --with-newlib --with-as=/usr/local/m68k-elf/bin/as
--with-ld=/usr/local/m68k-elf/bin/ld  -v
make
make install

[I used the --with-as= in the hope that calling gcc(cross-compiler) would
hard code the path for its as and ld]

When I come to configure the rtems it appears to check the native compiler
then later the cross-compiler, the second check fails.

configure options for rtems:
/home/build-rtems
/rtems-4.5.0/configure --target=m68k-elf --prefix=/usr/local
--enable-rtemsbsp=gen68360  --program-prefix=m68k-elf-
Output listing:
##########################################################
checking if cpu m68k is supported... yes
checking for m68k-elf-gcc... /usr/local/bin/m68k-elf-gcc
checking whether the C compiler (/usr/local/bin/m68k-elf-gcc  ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot
create executables.
configure: error: /rtems-4.5.0/c/make/configure failed for make
configure: error: /rtems-4.5.0/c/configure failed for c

Interesting thing is that m68k-elf-gcc does work! - in as much as it
compiled a small program which ran on our target hardware without
problems.

Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.
