 The Linux target has been splitted into two now :

  - systems using the older 'libc5' as the C-library (libc-5.4.46 is the last
    release). This is the 'i386-linux-gnulibc1' target.

  - systems using the new 'libc6/glibc2' (glibc-2.0.7 or glibc-2.1 is the
    current 'production' version -- I don't know if '2.1' is yet stable enough)
    This is the 'i386-linux-gnu' target.

 You cannot (or it doesn't make much sense) use newlib as the C-library for
Linux. Instead you must select either one of the previous ones, take the
library binaries (they include headers too), install them to your Solaris2
(into '/sw2/gccx386/i386-linux-gnu/include' and 
'/sw2/gccx386/i386-linux-gnu/lib' -- if you use 'i386-linux-gnu' target name),
and build GCC with/for them...

 The Debian, RedHat5.x and S.u.S.E.6.x distributions have libc6/glibc2 as the
'system' library, the RedHat4.x, S.u.S.E.5.x etc. have libc5 as the 'system'
library, but the newer systems should include the libc5 run-time libs and be
capable of running libc5 based apps...

 NEVER use wildcards in the host or target name !!!! (You really aren't the
first one making this mistake -- but I haven't yet heard a explanation for
the logic to use them, perhaps you could say something about this ....;-)

 The configure script uses wildcards for matching, so the 'i386-linux-gnu',
'i486-pc-linux-gnu', 'i586-dell-linux-gnulibc2', etc. are just one
configuration... But using wildcards in the target name in the configure
command is an error....

 The 'ld -verbose' will give a linker script having something like :

----------- clip --------------
using internal linker script:
==================================================
OUTPUT_FORMAT(pei-i386)
SEARCH_DIR(/lib); SEARCH_DIR(/usr/lib); SEARCH_DIR(/usr/local/lib);
 SEARCH_DIR(/usr/local/i386-cygwin32/lib);
---------- clip -----------------

and the 'SEARCH_DIR' being in line 5.... and having your wildcards
in the directory names. So 'ld' will be scitzofrenic about where to 
search the libs....

 Cheers, Kai
