[uClibc]make test fails msoft-float/crtbegin.o missing for m68k-elf

[Brad Clements]

My goal is to get Python 2.3 running on the Arcturus uCdimm Coldfire 5272 board.

I'm using a recent CVS checkout of uClinux, and kernel 2.4.x

I'm using the latest toolchain from ucLinux, m68k-elf-tools-20020410.tgz

I've configured uClibc 0.9.16 for floating point, math support with no FPU, PIC

after make, make install, I set my path to DEVEL/usr/bin and then switch to the uclibc 
test directory and try to make the test, it fails as shown below.

I'm assuming that the msoft-float/crtbegin refs are hard-coded into the m68k-elf 
compiler, though I see reference in the changelog from August 2002 that the gcc 
wrapper is supposed to "fix" this.  Perhaps I misread the changelog.

Of course, what I'm really trying to do is to get python's ./configure to work, but it dies 
with the same error shown below so .. first steps first.

any ideas?

Thanks
