Right, so the config.sub file you sent does translate "e1-coff" into 
"e1-unknown-coff" and the configure.tgt file does recognise a target of 
"e1-unknown-coff".

Since the error message that you get from configure.tgt show that it 
does not recognise "e1-coff" it follows that this translation from 
"e1-coff" into "e1-unknown-coff" is not being performed.  You need to 
check what is happening in the ld/configure script around these lines:

    # Canonicalize the secondary target names.
    result=`$ac_config_sub $targ_alias 2>/dev/null`
    if test -n "$result"; then
	targ=$result
    else
	targ=$targ_alias
    fi

    . ${srcdir}/configure.tgt

This starts at line 9702 in the version of the configure file that I 
have here.  Presumably the invocation of "result=`$ac_config_sub 
$targ_alias`" is not working.  You need to find out why.

Cheers
