    Hi Wouter,

  Argh, Bill messed up.  That "--without-haders --with-newlib" is a 
kludgey way of getting a bootstrap compiler and I guess it's not working
right now.

  OK, the make goes wrong because it's trying to build too much at the
moment and so running into problems when it gets to some of the trickier
bits.  You only want a bootstrap compiler, so you also need to give
configure the flag:

        --enable-languages=c

and to the make command you must add

   LANGUAGES=c

on the command line.  Have a go at that, then you should get enough of
a compiler working and installable that you can proceed to build glibc;
when you've got glibc built for your target it will take care of supplying
the header files that were missing when you indadvertently tried building
the full gcc.

  NB:  It is probably only necessary to use --enable-languages with 3.0.x,
but it should do no harm to make extra sure by adding the LANGUAGES macro
to the make command as well.
