I'm trying to upgrade to 2.7.2 and am having problems.  I configured
using the "--with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld" options.  This was to get around
the ".weak" problem.  Now when I go throught the compilation process, I get:

jpc % make LANGUAGES=c
...
deleted stuff
...
rm -rf tmpcopy
if [ -f /usr/bin/ranlib -o -f /bin/ranlib ] ; then ranlib tmplibgcc.a; else true; fi
mv tmplibgcc.a libgcc.a
./xgcc -B./  -DIN_GCC   -g -I./include  enquire.o -o enquire
/usr/lib/crt0.o: file not recognized: File format not recognized
*** Error code 1

I'm running the 2.1.5 kernel.

I've searched around and can't find the answer.  If anyone can help,
please let me know by email.  

Thanks in advance,

jpc
