Can't cross-compile anything using crossdev-gen'd toolchain

[ausmusj1]

I am using the xmerge script as defined in http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/cross-development.xml, all I get are either:

/usr/libexec/gcc/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory

Or (during configure):

Configuring NCURSES 5.6 ABI 5 (Wed Aug 15 16:42:54 PDT 2007)
checking build system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi
checking target system type... arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi
Configuring for linux-gnueabi
checking for prefix... /usr
checking for arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc... arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc
checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

Which, after looking at the config.log, is directly related to the above issue with crt1.o

I have checked in /usr/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi/usr/lib, and the crt1.o file does exist there. I have also successfully xmerge'd glibc into my separate arm_root directory, and /mnt/arm_root/usr/lib/crt1.o exists there as well.


Any help?

I think it was this problem I saw with gcc 4.1. gcc 4.2 fixed it for me.
