Re: TARGET undefined in bucomm.c

[Luke <hazelnusse at gmail dot com>]

I tried three approaches, all which led to the same error:

First, a build folder outside of the source tree:
$ tar xvf binutils-2.21.tar.bz2
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../binutils-2.21/configure
$ make

and I get:
make[4]: Entering directory
`/home/luke/repos/summon-arm-toolchain/build/binutils'
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../binutils-2.21/binutils  -I.

../../binutils-2.21/binutils/bucomm.c:160:24: note: each undeclared
identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
make[4]: *** [bucomm.o] Error 1


Second, I tried a build in the source tree:
$ tar xvf binutils-2.21.tar.bz2
$ cd binutils-2.21
$ ./configure
$ make

and I get:
make[4]: Entering directory
`/home/luke/repos/summon-arm-toolchain/binutils-2.21/binutils'

bucomm.c:160:24: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only
once for each function it appears in
make[4]: *** [bucomm.o] Error 1

Finally, if I make a build folder inside of the source tree, I get the
same exact result, which is what I reported previously.

So this doesn't seem to be the source of the problem.
