Does anyone know how to compile gcc-3.4.6 for the

the --target=pdp11 switch and the compiler runs for awhile then breaks. The

something I'm not using.
Building gcc as a cross compiler can be quite challenging.
Dan Kegel has put together a set of scripts which largely automate the
process
and which can be found at http://www.kegel.com/crosstool/
Unfortunately (but not surprisingly) pdp11 is not on of the targets
supported
by crosstool, but you might still find it useful as an illustration of
the kinds of
things that may need to be done.
