Stumped...building GCC 4.4.0 and getting "File format not recognized"

I'm trying to build GCC 4.4.0 and I suspect I have something missing/
wrong in my build structure. I keep getting the following problem: libtool: link: rm -fr .libs/libgomp.lib Configuring in mingw32/boehm-gc libtool: link: /home/lloyd/gcc_build/gccbf/./gcc/xgcc -B/home/lloyd/ gcc_build/gccbf/./gcc/ -L/home/lloyd/gcc_build/gccbf/mingw32/winsup/ mingw -L /home/lloyd/gcc_build/gccbf/mingw32/winsup/w32api/lib -isystem /home/ lloyd/gcc_build/gcc-4.4.0/winsup/mingw/include -isystem /home/lloyd/ gcc_bui ld/gcc-4.4.0/winsup/w32api/include -B/mingw/mingw32/bin/ -B/mingw/ mingw32/lib/ -isystem /mingw/mingw32/include -isystem /mingw/mingw32/ sys-inclu de -shared .libs/alloc.o .libs/barrier.o .libs/critical.o .libs/ env.o .libs/error.o .libs/iter.o .libs/iter_ull.o .libs/loop.o .libs/ loop_ull.o .libs/ordered.o .libs/parallel.o .libs/sections.o .libs/ single.o .libs/task.o .libs/team.o .libs/work.o .libs/lock.o .libs/ mutex.o .libs/proc.o .libs/sem.o .libs/bar.o .libs/ptrlock.o .libs/time.o .libs/ fortran.o .libs/affinity.o -L/home/lloyd/gcc_build/gccbf/mingw32/ winsup/mingw -L/h ome/lloyd/gcc_build/gccbf/mingw32/winsup/w32api/lib -lpthread -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--version-script -Wl,../../../gcc-4.4.0/libgomp/libgomp.map - o .lib s/libgomp-1.dll -Wl,--enable-auto-image-base -Xlinker --out-implib - Xlinker .libs/libgomp-1.dll Creating library file: .libs/libgomp-1.dll libtool: link: (cd ".libs" && rm -f "libgomp.lib" && ln -s "libgomp-1.dll" "libgomp.lib") libtool: link: /mingw/mingw32/bin/ar rc .libs/libgomp.lib alloc.o barrier.o critical.o env.o error.o iter.o iter_ull.o loop.o loop_ull.o ordere d.o parallel.o sections.o single.o task.o team.o work.o lock.o mutex.o proc.o sem.o bar.o ptrlock.o time.o fortran.o affinity.o c:\MinGW\mingw32\bin\ar.exe: .libs/libgomp.lib: File format not recognized make[4]: *** [libgomp.la] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/lloyd/gcc_build/gccbf/mingw32/libgomp' make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/lloyd/gcc_build/gccbf/mingw32/libgomp' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/lloyd/gcc_build/gccbf/mingw32/libgomp' make[1]: *** [all-target-libgomp] Error 2 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

However, this does not help me get from where I am to where I want to be. Let me back up and say "has anyone resolved this problem and if so, what needs to be changed in order to resolve it?" If it has NOT been resolved, then that is also an answer.

Lloyd Sargent: It is due to a libgomp/libtool weirdness, I have no idea where the problem came from, but you can work around this by editing the "libtool" shell script that is called for the linking process. It accidentally passed ".lib" to ld instead of the usual ".dll.a" Simply look into the libtool file and search for the ".lib" file extension and change it to ".dll.a". I cannot remember which line you need to edit, you can post the "libtool" file here too if you can't find to correct line. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

So I guess my question has morphed into "how the heck do you build 4.4.0"? I do not possess Microsoft tools.

Nor have I ever had the Microsoft tools. == Anything that was built was done so using Mingw. I am attempting to REBUILD GCC 4.4.0 so that Objective C has garbage collection. Unfortunately, I haven't progressed passed the point indicated. All code was compiled using the Mingw/GCC Makefile's or shell scripts on the Sourceforge site. If these have been superseded by NEW files (perhaps in CVS?), I would like to know. Thanks and I am truly sorry for any confusion I may have injected into this thread.
