[Buildroot] CC environment variable trouble (binutils built before gcc?)

[Laurent Debacker]

Hello,

I have download the buildroot snapshot as of July 13th, 2007.
Using "make menuconfig", I configured it to target the mipsel architecture.
Afterwards, the "make" process fails giving:
<buildroot at uclibc.org>

(cd /home/gizmo/wgt634u/archives/buildroot/build_mipsel/binutils-2.17-target;
rm -rf config.cache ; \

If I understand correctly, it wants to compile binutils using the mipsel
gcc, however buildroot has not built it yet.

I am using Arch Linux.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
