How to cross-compile ARM on Mac OS X (error: invalid listing parameter "r" - cross-compilation error)

I am trying to create a gcc cross compiler on Mac OS X, target arm-elf-eabi.

This is what I have done so far:

Install gcc and configure the environment

I tried not to use clang / llvm on Mac, so I used gcc-4.8 from brew.

brew tap homebrew/versions 
brew install gcc48
brew install binutils

In front of the building, I set environment variables:

export CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc-4.8
export CXX=/usr/local/bin/g++-4.8
export CPP=/usr/local/bin/cpp-4.8
export LD=/usr/local/bin/gcc-4.8
export PREFIX=/opt/cross
export TARGET=arm-elf-eabi

build binutils

Loading the binutils source, then creating the assembly directory and the ability to build binutils without problems:

mkdir build-binutils
cd build-binutils
../binutils-2.24/configure --target=$TARGET --prefix=$PREFIX --with-sysroot --enable-64-bit-bfd --disable-shared --disable-werror --disable-nls
make configure-host
make LDFLAGS="-all-static"
sudo make install

gcc building

Download gcc 4.8 source and start the build process

mkdir build-gcc
cd build-gcc
../gcc-4.8.3/configure --target=$TARGET --prefix=$PREFIX --disable-nls --enable-languages=c,c++ --without-headers --disable-shared --enable-multilib --with-sysroot --disable-werror
make configure-host
make all-gcc << ERROR
make all-target-libgcc

However, I got an invalid listing optionr`` error in the build.

        -o build/genconstants.o ../../gcc-4.8.3/gcc/genconstants.c
Assembler messages:

make[2]: *** [build/genconstants.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-gcc] Error 2

Alternative construction process

I tried using the default compiler from Mac with the following configuration:

./contrib/download_prerequisites
CFLAGS="-arch i386 -arch x86_64 -Wno-error=deprecated-declarations -Wno-error=unused-variable -Wno-error=unused-function" ../gcc-4.8.3/configure --target=$TARGET --prefix=$PREFIX --disable-nls --enable-languages=c --without-headers --disable-shared --enable-multilib

make all-gcc, make all-target-libgcc, gcc- clang/llvm.

, as Apple - , gcc ( clang/llvm ).
