crosstool on OSX?

[David Wuertele <dave-gnus at bfnet dot com>]

I've been trying to get crosstool-0.27 to build a
mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu toolchain on OSX (10.3).  So far, I've had to
make a small change to glibc's configure.in file, since /usr/bin/as on
OSX doesn't understand "--version".  I just removed the check.  I
don't know how kosher that was, but it seemed to work.  Here is the
glibc patch:

And here is the patch to crosstool.sh to run autoconf:

My problem is that the glibc make eventually craps out here:

It may be related to a message output during the configure step:

checking for ld --version-script... no
*** WARNING: You should not compile GNU libc without versioning. Not using
*** versioning will introduce incompatibilities so that old binaries
*** will not run anymore.
*** For versioning you need recent binutils (binutils-2.8.1.0.23 or newer).

Any suggestions on how I might get beyond this?

Thanks,
Dave
