what the...???...

[Peter Lawrence]

All,
      here is some totally unreadable output from building  
binutils.   I would like to do some cleaning up
of the situation, but first I will have to understand what is going  
on and why.....

the question I have today is what is the point of all these  
definitions being passed in as arguments to "make", shouldn't
this have been fixed by "configure", the Makefile is generated by  
"configure", so all these definitions should have
been finalized at that point and the Makefile should already be wired  
with the correct definitions, there should not be
any definitional arguments being passed in to make

what am I missing...???...

sincerely,
Peter Lawrence.
