Thanks again Dave for taking your own time to look at this.  I'm slightly encouraged that you didn't have the same issue.  I've obviously got something going on with my configuration - I just need to figure what it is.

That was ActiveState Perl.  I've completely removed it (wasn't really using it anymore) and that didn't seem to help.

Interesting that your sysd-syscalls file doesn't have all the variable assignments mine does.  My sysd-syscalls file (which I've attached) is pulled from crosstool-0.43\build\arm-9tdmi-linux-gnu\gcc-4.1.0-glibc-2.3.2\build-glibc-headers after the failure is reported and the build terminated.  The definition of IFS is on line 241 and my latest attempt also had a problem with line 202 fwiw.  I took a quick look at the make-syscalls.sh in the downloaded glibc-2.3.2\sysdeps\unix directory and didn't see anything obviously wrong (to me).  I'll try and look at it a little further but if you have any ideas after seeing my sysd-syscalls file please let me know.

Thanks!
