building tool chain for zip it messenger (arm processor)

[Geordy Rostad <geordy@hotmail.com>]

Hi list, I'm ripping my hair out trying to use crosstools to build a gcc cross compiler for an arm based linux install.  I downloaded crosstool-0.43 and editted the demo-arm.sh to attempt to build gcc-2.95.3-glibc-2.1.3.  The host system is an Ubuntu vm.  I had to apt-get bison and a few other things to get this far but it keeps dying here:

....
gcc-2.95.3/gcc -I/home/geordy/crosstool-0.43/build/arm-linux/gcc-2.95.3-glibc-2.1.3/gcc-2.95.3/gcc/config -I/home/geordy/crosstool-0.43/build/arm-linux/gcc-2.95.3-glibc-2.1.3/gcc-2.95.3/gcc/../include /home/geordy/crosstool-0.43/build/arm-linux/gcc-2.95.3-glibc-2.1.3/gcc-2.95.3/gcc/config/arm/arm.c

I've tried to also build a couple of different versions of gcc-glibc but still get the same error.  Also have made sure gcc, glibc, bintools, etc are newest versions available via apt-get.  

Thanks,
Geordy
