Issue for compiling GDB (crosstool-ng 1.22) on Ubuntu 13.10 --- "expat is missing or unusable"

[rtillet@free.fr]

Hello all,

I'm trying to compile croostool-ng 1.22 for a arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnuea bi taget, and I get the following error message at "gdb-cross" step. I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 on a x86 station.

The issue is linked to "expat" which seems to be missing or unusable. This error seems to be famous, and reported at many location on your list or onthe web.

I've tried several stuff such as install package expat, libexpat1, libexpat1-dev without any succes.

Any advice, idea or suggestion would be great.
