Why did you wait for 1.9 to be out before you reported the issue?
If you had, we may have found a way to fix crosstool-Ng _before_
1.9.0 is out.

No, it's not normal behavior. It should not happen.

That's not enough to understand the issue. Please put the entire build.log
file somewhere on-line (do *not* post it on the list!) so we can see where
and why it breaks.

FWIW, I have built a x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu toolchain on a Debian Lenny
x86_64 machine without any issue.
