I have been attempting, with limited success, to install the gnu programs
that come with NetBSD. I am not sure this is the correct forum (should I be
inquiring of the gnu people? and if so, where?), but this is the situation:

After installing gnusrc.tgz under /, I cd'ed to /usr/src/gnu/dist and,
following the instructions of the README, I typed

./configure

and got

Configuring for a m68k-apple-netbsd1.4 host.
Created "Makefile" in /usr/src/gnu/dist
Links are now set up to build a native compiler for m68k-apple-netbsd1.4
configure: warning: mmalloc not found - building without it
test: -O2: unknown operand
sed: ./tests/Makefile.in: No such file or directory
sed: ./m4/Makefile.in: No such file or directory
sed: ./djgpp/Makefile.in: No such file or directory
sed: ./vms/Makefile.in: No such file or directory
sed: ./bootstrap/Makefile.in: No such file or directory

Not knowing what, if anything, I should do about this, I tried

make

and after a lot of stuff, I got

make all-recursive
Making all in doc
rm -f bfd-tmp.h
cp bfd-in3.h bfd-tmp.h
/bin/sh ./../move-if-change bfd-tmp.h bfd.h

/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=compile gcc -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.

./libtool: Can't open ./libtool
*** Error code 2

Stop.
*** Error code 1

Stop.


I tried going into /usr/src/gnu/lib and typing "make", I got, after MANY
hours of compiling and other futzing around:

Re-trying the "make" in /usr/src/gnu/dist gave:

What am I doing wrong? Is there some sort of cannonical order in which this
stuff should be installed?
