A useful trick to make this easier for a human to read is to pipe the output through sed -e :a -e "s,[^/]*/\.\.\/,," -e ta I don't guarantee that this will always result in the correct semantics in all situations but it's not too far off. "readlink -m" would be closer if needed.

Recompiling with --with-as="/usr/bin/$CROSS-as"... Why do you think it's necessary to specify this? Configure will automatically find and use $tooldir/bin/as (= $prefix/$target/bin/as) or $target-as in PATH. Brian
