compiling newlib

Hi,
I am new to this list. I have two questions:
1) I have a file newlib/libm/libm.a, that I have downloaded somewhere, but
I don't remember where. I'd like to know to which version of newlib it
corresponds. Is there a way to do this?
2) I downloaded newlib-3.3.0 from ftp://sourceware.org/pub/newlib/,
but I am unable to compile it on x86_64 under Linux.
Here is what I did:
$ tar xf /tmp/newlib-3.3.0.tar.gz
$ cd newlib-3.3.0
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../configure --prefix=/tmp # runs ok
$ make
The make command returns almost immediately, and there is no libm.a
file created.
I tried also the following:
$ tar xf /tmp/newlib-3.3.0.tar.gz
$ cd newlib-3.3.0
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../configure --prefix=/tmp --target=x86_64
$ make
Then make seems to do more job, however it fails with:
/bin/bash: line 2: x86_64-ar: command not found
Note: item 1 of the FAQ on https://sourceware.org/newlib/ refers to
${FULL_PATH_TO_SRC}/src/configure --prefix=`pwd` --target=XXX but there
is no src directory in the newlib-3.3.0.tar.gz tarball.
What am I doing wrong?
Best regards,
Paul Zimmermann
