Cool.  I'll take a look at your script; offhand it doesn't seem much
different than what I did except for the --with-newlib stuff.

I was able to get things to build, although I had to hack a few files
(see my other posts).  I will almost definitely end up rebuilding the
cross-compiler again, though, to clean things up.

Were you able to build without changing _any_ files, including the
fdmatch bug and the collect2 stuff, and have it all work?

Then can you tell me why you include --with-newlib?

What does this flag do for the configure and why is it used/needed?

That would be most helpful.  Thanks!

Ah, this probably explains why you don't need to modify the collect2
stuff.  Only if you did use C++, would you run into this problem.
