configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables (taget=m68k-elf host=i686-pc-linux-gnu)

[tono <tono at hitel dot com>]

I have been trying to bulild cross compiler for target m68k-elf on my
RedHat Linux (i686).  I was able to build and install binutils.

And, then I configured gcc-2.95.2 with the following command

../gcc-2.95.2/configure --target=$target --prefix=$prefix
--with-headers=../../usr/include -v

This seem to work.  Then I started make with this command

make all

after a while I get this error while it is checking to see my C compiler
works or not.

checking how to run the C preprocessor... /root/build-gcc/gcc/xgcc

then, it fails as follows...

I've been trying for 3 nights trying to make the cross compiler, but
every time I get

checking whether the C compiler (/root/build-gcc/gcc/xgcc
-B/root/build-gcc/gcc/ -B/cross/m68k-elf/bin/ -g -O2 ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler
cannot create executables.

I do not know why, since I already configured and it was
successful.......  But there seems to be 2 problems, one for xgcc and
another for making filedoalloc.o......
Please help me out if you have encountered this kind of error before.
I thank you very much for your attention and your time reading this
message.

Best regards
