Problem when building a crosscompiler for arm-linux target

[David Westberg <david dot westberg at landala dot com>]

I am trying to build a toolchain for the arm-linux target hosted on Redhat 7
system.

building the binutils gives me no problem.
/binutils-2.10.1/configure --host=i586-pc-linux-gnu --target=arm-linux
--prefix=/home/davwes/ipaq/tools 
make
make install

works like a charm and installs without any problems.

Building the Crosscompiler is the problem. Configuring goes without any
problem.
mkdir gcc-20010205-cross
cd gcc-20010205-cross
.../gcc-20010205/configure --host=i586-pc-linux-gnu --target=arm-linux
--prefix=/home/davwes/ipaq/tools --disable-threads --with-cpu=strongarm110
--enable-languages=c --with-newlib
make all-gcc

the build stops with the following message:

Why isn't crti.o built since it is required by the linker ?
Why is it required by the linker ?
why is -lc required, I am building a crosscompiler and the library isn't
built yet.
Should it build the libgcc_s.so library at all ?

I have done some experimenting by eliminating crti.o crtn.o and -lc then the
lib was atleast built and build process could continue and later install it.
I do not know, however , the status of the installed compiler after such a
hack.

I actually tried to build glibc-2.2 by using the above crosscompiler but it
failed complaining about an internal error. I don't give the error much
credit since it was built and installed using a HACK.
