RE: newlib installation problem on cygwin (assembler error msg: read ing.open : No such file)

[Satish Kumar]

 well, i was able to solve this problem..and this was done as follows.
go the gcc-lib of the installed directory under the lib directory..
then in to the arm-elf/2.95.2/ edit the specs file present in this
folder, delete additional empty lines at the end of the file..and 
convert the file using dos2unix command.

later continue with the newlib make command..this works fine now.

Hi Satish,

These are quite old versions.  Binutils for example is now at version
2.13.  I would recommend updating to this version.

This is nothing to worry about.  The ARM port does not use libgloss.

This is a strange error message.  If upgrading to the latest version
of binutils does not fix the problem, trying going into the stdlib
directory and running make there.  You should then be able to capture
the entire gcc command line and rerun it, adding the -v switch.  This
will show the command line being used to invoke GAS, and you can
check this to see if anything looks suspicious.

Cheers
