[John Andrews]

Thanks Richard!

Should I also reconfigure and build binutils?

I suspect the problem is that you are trying to use newlib with a Linux 
target.  Linux builds demand more than the newlib headers provide and so 
you are running into problems.  If you want a linux target, then you will 
need to obtain glibc and build with that.  If you want newlib, then I 
suggest you use a more appropriate cross configuration, such as plain 
"arm-elf".
