The problem is that the Makefile that causes the problem is only generated during the make process. I would have to patch the files that generate this Makefile. The generated Makefile itself is over 4000 lines long. I will take a look at it. The original tigcc distribution does ignore the compilation errors. I can read "echo You should have seen an error. This is normal. TIGCC installation continues." 3 times in the scripts that compile gcc and 4 times in the scripts that compile GNU AS. I applied patches so that gas builds just fine and gcc only hangs on one error. If you download the official gcc-core-4.0.2 from GNU and build it with configure --target=m68k-coff it hangs in exactly the same place. I was quite sure you wouldn't accept to just ignore build errors. I guess I'll just have to try to fix it. Thanks, Jona
