Core dump (Illegal instruction) with crosstool's GCJ

Now, I've tried using the root-filesystem from ELDK 3.0 which uses 
glibc-2.3.1 and gcc-3.2.2, and with my crosstool-cygwin-3.4.0-2.3.2 I 
_can_ now use static builds of _sample_ programs - not my faulty 
application (of course) (but this is still something I couldn't do before).
But I still cannot run a static application linked with 
crosstool-3.4.0-2.2.5.
That made me wonder: What are the requirements between compiler- and 
glibc-versions for crosstool-compiled applications and the 
target-system's system (both kernel and shell(?))?
Do I need to compile an entire root-filesystem with the exact same 
crosscompiler as my gcj-applications are compiled with?

I hope this makes any sense to you - I too am a bit confused :o)

Best regards,
  Martin
