configuring(Porting) GNU make Tool for a specific target...

[Subhash Verma]

Hi Friends!!

I am a beginner for this field (GNU Tools) and I am working a project in 
which I have to port various GNU Tools for my taget processor    "xpp-elf".

I will appreciate any kind of help or quidance regarding this matter.

I want help on these matters..

1. What is the latest version available of GNU Make Tool.

2. I have to build GNU make tool for the target "xpp-elf" under cygwin.
  What changes are required in configure.in, Makefile.am ,acconfig.h     or 
any other file                         for this.
   host: i686-pc-cygwin
   target: xpp-elf

3. What will be command line for ./configure to build this GNU make Tool?
  means is it will be "CC=xpp-elf-gcc ./configure --target=xpp-elf" or
  ./configure --target=xpp-elf or
 simply ./configure.

4. How the test can be performed to check whether the built tool is ok for 
my                target(xpp-elf).With the source code of GNU make there is 
a directory named as tests, under which various subdirectories as targets, 
features,functions  etc are also there.How there files are used to test the 
built tool.

5. will I be needed the cross compiler say xpp-elf-gcc ever in this 
process(building the    GNU mkae Tool)?

Thanks in advace.
