Nope.  Not sure why.  Possibly because my MacOSX testing was
in April or so, before gcc-3.4 came out.  Is that what you're
trying to build?

Grumble.  What versions do ld and as report when you run with --version?

Also, which version of crosstool are you using?  0.28-rc36 is the current
one, but then again, maybe you want something older if I've accidentally
broken things since I tested there.
