  [ BTW Jim, you should probably use the mailing list address 
crossgcc@sources.redhat.com rather than the address you're using which is
crossgcc-owner@sources.redhat.com.  I think that's meant to be an
administrative address. ]

  Ah, but newlib doesn't work with Linux!  You need to try again with glibc,
and pointing at the linux header files with --with-headers.  This probably
is the reason for the problems you had following the standard procedure.

  Although it seems to have built successfully the chances of it compiling
working code are minimal.
