GCC configure broken on my system

Fri Aug 3 15:08:00 GMT 2001

I have a W2K system with the CygWin tools on it. I'm trying to compile GCC,
and I can't get either 2.95 or 3.00 to go
This is what I'm doing:
 cd /usr/src
 tar xvfz gcc-<ver>
 mkdir gccobj
 cd gccobj
 ../gcc-<ver>/configure
What I get in response to this last is:
 Configuring for a i686-pc-cygwin32 host.
 Created "Makefile" in /usr/src/gccobj using "mh-frag"
 Assembler messages:
 Error: Can't open /tmp/cci95BX8.s for reading.
 /tmp/cci95BX8.s: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
 *** The command 'gcc -o conftest -O2 conftest.c' failed.
 *** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.
As I said, I get much the same response from both 2.95 and 3.0. I've
already checked the obvious (to me) like file/dir permissions. I've tried
running this as "myself" and as Administrator; this made no difference.
I need to rebuild GCC because I want to use it as a cross-compiler.
This has got to be something dumb I'm doing; everyone seems to be reporting
success on compilation of even 3.0! Help, please...?
