  Or if you now have binutils, some kind of GCC and some kind of C
library for your target, why not simply try the obvious thing, to
try to compile and link that "Hello World"?  And then see what on
earth is wrong with your new (but not yet fully ready) GCC ?

  If you have a car where the lightbulbs are not yet installed, you
will receive my permission to drive your car at daytime (but not in
Finland where one must use light even at daytime). Using a not yet
ready GCC for compiling something simple is just as allowed by me,
maybe not by Dan because he has not suggested that :-)

  Just try your "$target-gcc -o hello_$target hello.c" and then report
what it says and I think we see many suggestions for fixing your 
existing GCC or how to rearrange the target libraries and such...
