Truble Building tools for 4.6.4

[Angelo Fraietta]

Greetings all

I am attempting to make a document to enable people to build RTEMS 4.6.4 
using source on my intended CD

I am unable to get binutils to build on a Linux Fedora Core 4 (I am 
using the sources on a disk)

It all works fine on my Mac OSX machine, but on the linux machine it 
will not compile.
These are the steps


bzcat  binutils-2.13.2.1.tar2.bz2 | tar xf -
bzcat gcc-3.2.3.tar1.bz2 | tar xf -
zcat newlib-1.11.0.tar.gz | tar xf -

cd  gcc-3.2.3
rm -rf newlib
ln -s ../newlib-1.11.0/newlib newlib
cd ..

cd gcc-3.2.3
patch -p1 <../gcc-3.2.3*.diff
cd ..

cd gcc-3.2.3
patch -p1 <../gcc-3.2.3*.diff
cd ..

rm -rf build
mkdir build
cd build

rm -rf build
mkdir build
cd build

../binutils-2.13.2.1/configure --target=i386-rtems --prefix=/opt/rtems


make -w all install

This is where it failes (I have tried gmake also)

rm -f as.pod

Ilaso tried patching with binutils-2.13.2.1-rtems-20030901.diff, but 
still the same

Works fine on my OSX machine, however I want it to be accessible to 
Linux users. I don't have time to go for a different version. Any ideas 
or a patch that might work?

If I can't get it going, I am going to have to say it only worked on my 
OSX machine (which is a bad reflection on RTEMS)
