darwin->arm-linux

[nik gaffney <nik at f0 dot am>]

hi,
    ive been trying to build a  toolchain for arm-linux hosted on osX 10.2. 
after a certain amount of messing around, its got quite stuck with making 
glibc.  the set up im using is...

    * HOST=powerpc-apple-darwin6.1
    * TARGET=arm-linux
    * gcc-3.2
    * binutils-2.13
    * glibc-2.2.5 (with linuxthreads)

ive managed to build a working toolchain from the same componets, on a 
powerpc-linuc host. many of the same patches are required, but it seems there 
are a few osX specific problems.

the current problem is that the make file generated from  
glibc-2.2.5/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/configure.in (also patched to include arm 
target) causes an m4 error 

./aclocal.m4:19: error: m4_defn: undefined macro: _m4_divert_diversion

while deleting this file causes the make to continue (but fail later, assuming 
its a generic target)

from what i can gather its an problem with autoconf, so ive  tried a patched 
autoconf, and building autoconf-2.54 from sources. no change.

so im wondering if anyone has managed this (or has any hints?),
  or am i stumbling down a blind alley?
