ARM Cross Compiler

[Satyajeet Hoskote <satyajeet at samsung dot com>]

I am trying to generate a cross compiler for ARM processors on a Intel
platform running RedHat 8.0. The versions of the toolchain components are as
under:

binutils-2.15
gcc-3.4.0
gdb-6.1
newlib-1.12.0

Configuration settings:
target=arm-elf
host=i686-pc-linux-gnu

As explained in the Crossgcc HOWTO, I successfully built the binutils
components in /usr/local/bin. The next step of compiling gcc is throwing up
problems. The last few lines of the error are pasted below

My host system has gcc v3.2

Any clues what is going on ?

Appreciate the help.
Thanks.
