Dan, your tool is full of Ass Kicking Goodness!(tm)!

I've succeeded in building the toolchain and compiling our app with
it.

However, i choose to build gcc-3.3-glibc-2.2.5 and this left me linking
to libstdc++.so.5, which isnt on RH73 systems, so the app stiff fails
due to a loader error, but it's a *different* loader error, and that
counts as progress in my book :-)

So now i am building  gcc-3.2.3-glibc-2.2.5 and will try to build our
app with that.

If that wont work, then i'll use the gcc-2.95.3-glibc-2.25 target....
