Hello,

Thanks everybody for the help. I managed to compile
gcc-3.4.3 successfully for i386. For those who want to
do the same:-
You don't need to skip the autoconf mechanism -but
many gnu tools are reqd (and /usr/local/bin would need
precedence over /usr/bin in the path). The tools are
autoconf, m4, bison, binutils, sed and make (at the
very least). Maybe a more frequent synch up of the
netbsd src tree with gnu will help.
# autoconf 
will generate the configure script which needs to be
modified with the following line
m4_prepare_allow(AS_FOR_TARGET)

ltconfig needs host="..." in place where you get a
warning because for some reason, it wouldn't utilize
the param "ltmain.sh" to extract the host properly.

BTW -anyone has experience adding bootstrap code for a
new processor into gcc?

thanks
-kamal
