http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20797

           Summary: Building gcc failed.
           Product: eCos
           Version: 1.3.1
          Platform: vrc4373 (NEC VRC4373 board)
        OS/Version: MIPS
            Status: RESOLVED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: low
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: jifl at ecoscentric dot com
        ReportedBy: anonymous at sourceware dot cygnus dot com


When building gcc for mipsvr4300-elf on Windows NT 4.0, an error 
of failing to locate the mips16.s occured and the build process 
couldn't continue. The error output looks like this:
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `/src/gcc/egcs-
20000313/gcc/config/mips/mips16.S', needed by `stmp-multilib'.  
Stop.
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/e/tmp/build/gcc/gcc'
    make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2
    make: Leaving directory `/e/tmp/build/gcc'

How-To-Repeat:
Everytime we compile the cross gcc, this problem happens. We use 
the Cygwin B2.0 and egcs-20000313.tar.gz. We also tried egcs-
20000320.tar.gz, but it's the same.

Fix:
We solved this problem by backing up the original mips16.s 
in /src/gcc/egcs-20000313/gcc/config/mips/mips16.s and restoring 
it to that folder quickly whenever the compiler deleted it. We 
don't know why this would happen yet.

 Although I didn't try it myself, I've had a report from another user that
 this problem is fixed in recent gcc snapshots now.
 
 Let me know what happens and if this is the case.
