I need your help about cross compiler for alpha

[naghmeh.karimi at yale.edu]

Dear All,

I need to produce OSF alpha binaries to use them by SimpleScalar. I downloaded
crosstool from this website and tried to install gcc ,... as a cross compiler.
I have FEDORA RELEASE 7 on my computer and my system is running gcc 4.1.2-12. I
selected alpha-dec-osf3.2 and for the version of gcc and glibc I
selected gcc-4.0.2-glibc-2.3.6 but the process ended with the following
error:

make[1]: Leaving directory

I checked and saw that
/home/naghmeh/D/opt/crosstool/gcc-4.0.2-glibc-2.3.6/alpha-dec-osf3.2/bin/alpha-dec-osf3.2-ld
 actually doesn't exist and I just these files exist in that directory.

alpha-dec-osf3.2-addr2line  alpha-dec-osf3.2-nm       alpha-dec-osf3.2-readelf
alpha-dec-osf3.2-ar         alpha-dec-osf3.2-objcopy  alpha-dec-osf3.2-size
alpha-dec-osf3.2-c++filt    alpha-dec-osf3.2-objdump  alpha-dec-osf3.2-strings
alpha-dec-osf3.2-gprof      alpha-dec-osf3.2-ranlib   alpha-dec-osf3.2-strip

I also checked the space on my computer. and I have 9 GB free.
Would you please help me with this problem and let me know if I should select
another gcc-glibc version or if there is any patch to remove this error?

Thanks,
Naghmeh
