Cross Compiler for H8300
 

I am trying to compile the gcc3.4.4 compiler to allow me to cross compiler for the H8300 hitachi micro contorller. And i am running into this error at during the compile of the gcc3.4.4 compiler

checking for an ANSI C-conforming const... yes
checking for inline... inline
checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... cross-compiling...

make: *** [configure-target-libiberty] Error 1


I have built a binutils useing the following configuration ( I am using binutils-2.16.1):
./configure --target=h8300-hitachi-hms --prefix=$HOME/Programming/hitachi

and then configure the gcc3.4.4 compile with this line
/home/user/Downloads/gcc-3.4.4/configure --target=h8300-hitachi-hms --prefix=/home/user/Programming/hitachi --with-newlib

I am compiling the gcc3.4.4 code in a separate directory then what i donloaded it into, and everything seem fine until i hit the endian check. Any ideas?
