Failure building cross-compiling 64-bit GCC

I'm trying to get a working gcc cross-compiler created that lives on my local machine [Darwin new-host-2.home 10.7.4 Darwin Kernel Version 10.7.4: Mon Apr 18 21:24:17 PDT 2011; root:xnu-1504.14.12~3/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64] and targets a FreeBSD 8.2 x86_64 (AMD64 in FreeBSD terms) target.

I'm compiling gcc 4.3.1, binutils 2.19, GMP 4.2.3, MPFR 2.3.2.

I'm seeing a couple of things that could be going wrong, but they may be red herrings. For what it's worth I am taking known working scripts to build a cross compiler and simply trying to get them to work for x86_64 architecture, so I know I'm not out in left field..

I'm using the gcc compiler target "x86_64-pc-freebsd7" which seems correct. I use compiler flags of: compilerConfigureFlags="--enable-version-specific-runtime-libs --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --disable-libunwind-exceptions --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit" and I configure binutils using "--enable-64-bit-bfd"

In my final error; something that catches my attention is '-m32' which I'm not sure if it should be there. The error is because ld can't make sense out of my "incompatible" file /Developer/Cocotron/1.0/FreeBSD/x86_64/gcc-4.3.1/x86_64-pc-freebsd7/lib/libc.a when searching for -lc. When I run file on libc.a and libc.so from the FreeBSD box I get:

sh-3.2# file /Developer/Cocotron/1.0/FreeBSD/x86_64/gcc-4.3.1/x86_64-pc-freebsd7/lib/libc.a/Developer/Cocotron/1.0/FreeBSD/x86_64/gcc-4.3.1/x86_64-pc-freebsd7/lib/libc.a: current ar archive

Final line my build dies on:

I'm surprised ld can't handle it, because when I run this version of 'ld' I get the followig output:

Which indicates to me that I've built the binutils correctly.. yet that can't handle a library that's an ELF 64-bit x86-64 FreeBSD shared object??

To give the story from the start - compiling binutils is flawless it seems.

Compiling GMP and MPFR both give me some ranlib issues that worry me a bit, trying to build up a .a library but the .o files have no symbols.. this could be normal but I can't tell?

GMP:

/usr/bin/ranlib: file: .libs/libprintf.a(obprintf.o) has no symbols
/usr/bin/ranlib: file: .libs/libprintf.a(obvprintf.o) has no symbols
/usr/bin/ranlib: file: .libs/libprintf.a(obprntffuns.o) has no symbols
/usr/bin/ranlib: file: .libs/libprintf.a(repl-vsnprintf.o) has no symbols
ranlib .libs/libprintf.a
ranlib: file: .libs/libprintf.a(obprintf.o) has no symbols
ranlib: file: .libs/libprintf.a(obvprintf.o) has no symbols
ranlib: file: .libs/libprintf.a(obprntffuns.o) has no symbols
ranlib: file: .libs/libprintf.a(repl-vsnprintf.o) has no symbols

And I get some more further along..

ranlib /Developer/Cocotron/1.0/FreeBSD/x86_64/gcc-4.3.1/lib/libgmp.a

MPFR:

Similar deal:

/usr/bin/ranlib: file: .libs/libmpfr.a(mp_clz_tab.o) has no symbols

ranlib: file: .libs/libmpfr.a(set_d64.o) has no symbols
ranlib: file: .libs/libmpfr.a(get_d64.o) has no symbols
creating libmpfr.la

And a bit further along..

ranlib /Developer/Cocotron/1.0/FreeBSD/x86_64/gcc-4.3.1/lib/libmpfr.a
ranlib: file: /Developer/Cocotron/1.0/FreeBSD/x86_64/gcc-4.3.1/lib/libmpfr.a(volatile.o) has no symbols

ranlib: file: /Developer/Cocotron/1.0/FreeBSD/x86_64/gcc-4.3.1/lib/libmpfr.a(get_d64.o) has no symbols

Then we're on to GCC, presumably with good binutils, GMP, and MPFR.. but finally during build of gcc (specifically libgcc) I get the ld linking failure.

Some more supporting information:

I compile binutils using:

CFLAGS="-m32 -Wformat=0 -Wno-error=deprecated-declarations" $sourceFolder/binutils-$binutilsVersion/configure --prefix="$resultFolder" --target=$compilerTarget $binutilsConfigureFlags

However I encounter the same problem if I switch to -m64..

CFLAGS="-m64 -Wformat=0 -Wno-error=deprecated-declarations" $sourceFolder/binutils-$binutilsVersion/configure --prefix="$resultFolder" --target=$compilerTarget $binutilsConfigureFlags

I compile GMP and MPFR using:

ABI=32 $sourceFolder/gmp-$gmpVersion/configure --prefix="$resultFolder"

I compile GCC using:

        CFLAGS="-m32" $sourceFolder/gcc-$gccVersion/configure -v --prefix="$resultFolder" --target=$compilerTarget \
                --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --with-headers=$resultFolder/$compilerTarget/include \
                --without-newlib --disable-multilib --disable-libssp --disable-nls --enable-languages="$enableLanguages" \
                --with-gmp=$buildFolder/gmp-$gmpVersion --enable-decimal-float --with-mpfr=$resultFolder --enable-checking=release \
                --enable-objc-gc \

                $compilerConfigureFlags

For all these, I'm using:

compilerTarget=x86_64-pc-freebsd7
compilerConfigureFlags="--enable-version-specific-runtime-libs --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --disable-libunwind-exceptions --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit"
binutilsConfigureFlags="--enable-64-bit-bfd"

On my target FreeBSD system, which by the way is standard FreeBSD 8.2 RELEASE amd64, ld indicates very similar capabilities to my cross-compiling one. In fact, it appears that my cross-compiling environment's ld handles a superset of what the actual target's ld handles - making me think I should be able to handle any files without the incompatibility I'm seeing

A 64 bit library can only linked to 64 bit object code. You need -m64 to build 64 bit object code, -m32 does produce 32 bit object code.
