Missing "bin" file when files extracted from gcc-3.4.0.tar.bz2

Missing "bin" file when files extracted from gcc-3.4.0.tar.bz2

[Rene Holder]

Hi,
  My name is Rene Holder. I unzipped and extracted the files in gcc-3.4.0.tar.bz2 but I was unable to find a "bin" file in the folder. 
   
  The project I am currently undertaking is "Building Linux for the OMAP5912 OSK Development Platform". One of the first steps required me to unzip the gcc-3.4.0.tar.bz2 file using the command: 
  tar -xjvf /root/gcc-3.4.0.tar.bz2
   
  One of the following instructions asked me to add the tool chain path to the current path via the following command: 
  export PATH=/opt/gcc-3.4.0/bin:$PATH
   
  Unfortunately, I am unable to locate the "bin" folder and this is leading to errors later on in the process. I also tried a later version of the gnu toolchain: gcc-3.4.3.tar.bz2 but I was still unable to locate the "bin" folder.
   
  Could you please help me with this problem?
   
  Thank you in advance.

I suggest taking a look at OpenEmbedded [1] project which can build 
working images for omap5912osk with gcc 3.4.4 or 4.1.1.

With simple configuration you can get everything needed (glibc- or uclibc- 
based toolchain, 2.6.18-omap-git kernel, userspace apps) built with just 
one command. 

I can provide rootfs + kernel for test if someone want to take a look.
