problem with sample file arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi (x86_64, ct-ng1.18.0)

[lolo tremolo]

Thanks for all your answers.
yes i use archlinux with the lastest glibc gcc...
after many try i'm going to do like thorsten.johannvorderbrueggen with
a virtual machin.
i plan to use lubuntu.

@Ed Beroset : ct-ng only offers me linaro-4.7-2013.01
on the other side (for info) the armv6-rpi-linux-gnueabi sample file work well.

thank you

Laurent

I found that using a newer version of MPFR (4.3.2) worked around this problem.  In my case, I was using the bare ARM (no Linux) build and chose to use Linaro-4.8 with MPFR 4.3.2 and binutils 2.22.  There may be other combinations that work (I worked on another one recently, but don't have that machine handy) but that may be enough to get you started.
