RTEMS 4.6.1 on Cygwin "configure:2838: error: C compiler cannot create executables"

[Mark Dean]

Hi all,

   I've got RTEMS 4.6.1 installed on Cygwin but when I try to build RTEMS with the supplied BSPs I get the following error...

checking for CFLAGS_DEBUG_V... (cached)
checking for CFLAGS_PROFILE_V... (cached)
checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking for powerpc-rtems-gcc... powerpc-rtems-gcc
checking for powerpc-rtems-gcc... (cached) powerpc-rtems-gcc
checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

the config.log file contains and error like this...

   Has anyone come across anything similar before? I don't really know where to start looking to fix the problem! I am happy to email the complete logs to anyone that can help!
