It may be possible to do the toolchain build in stages rather than all at once. You will need to do a single configure to produce a complete build tree. Then you should be able to run "make all install" in each subdirectory, using the order defined in the top-level makefile, followed by a "make clean" to free up the disk space again. It will be a rather tedious process, and occasionally you may have to fix up a couple of things by hand, but there is a good chance it will work. Bart Veer // eCos net maintainer
