Got it, Thanks.  I actually noticed that "owner" thing after I sent it.  
That's what I get when I send the reply to the "sender" of the email.

Thanks for that tidbit about newlib not working!
 
Okay, I recompiled gcc using --with-headers pointing to the linux 
headers.  That seemed to create the cross-compiler okay.  I can't 
compile glibc because it says it's currently not available for my 
platform.  I tried compiling a test app and it says it can't find 
libc.so.6, which I can't find on my system either.  I have the libraries 
from the linux box also, but so far that hasn't seemed to help me any. 
 I've seen mention about using inhibit_libc, but I'm not sure if that's 
what I need or how to implement it if it is.

Any idea on how I should proceed?  (Let me know if you need more 
info on my setup.)  Thanks for any help!

-Jim
