crosstool 0.43 + alpha problem

[Dan Kegel]

Yes, this is a frequently asked question, you just need
a patch.  Might even be in svn already, did you check
http://code.google.com/p/crosstool/ ?  Ah, yep:
http://crosstool.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/patches/glibc-2.3.6/glibc-2.3.6-csu-Makefile.patch

Thanks for posting your fix, though!
