Permissions problems with crosstool-0.42

[Adam Kemp <Adam dot Kemp at ni dot com>]

I'm trying to build an x86_64 cross-compiler, but I keep getting 
permissions errors. Has anyone else seen this? How do I fix it?

Here's the script I'm running:
[akemp@slapshot crosstool-0.42]$ cat demo-x86_64.sh
#!/bin/sh
set -ex
TARBALLS_DIR=$HOME/crossgcc/download
RESULT_TOP=/opt/crosstool
export TARBALLS_DIR RESULT_TOP
GCC_LANGUAGES="c,c++"
export GCC_LANGUAGES

eval `cat x86_64.dat gcc-4.1.0-glibc-2.3.6.dat` sh all.sh --notest

echo Done.

[akemp@slapshot crosstool-0.42]$ ls -ld /opt/crosstool/
drwxr-xr-x    2 akemp    root         4096 Jul 14 14:51 /opt/crosstool/

[akemp@slapshot crosstool-0.42]$ ./demo-x86_64.sh

mkdir: cannot create directory `/opt/cross': Permission denied

I tried changing the RESULT_TOP to /opt/cross to appease it, but then it 
tried writing to a file in /opt. Why is it trying to write in these 
places? It should only touch things in the download directory, the build 
directory, and the /opt/crosstool directory.
