m32c-elf is one of the many embedded (i.e. cross-compiled) targets which has a simulator. You don't need to have access to physical hardware. See: http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html http://gcc.gnu.org/backends.html > From the logs I see that the testsuite probably uses a > cross-compiled gcc? How do you configure gcc to get such a beast? Like any other cross compiler: ./configure --target=m32c-elf --with-newlib Note that you'll have to build (and install, of course) a cross-binutils first, then build a cross-gcc (libgcc will fail to build), then cross-build and install newlib, then build cross-gcc again (it will work this time) and install it. To get the simulator, you then build a cross-gdb.
