Planning to use newlib. Since I posted my messages yesterday, I
successfully built gcc (I was missing links to ld-linux.so.2 and
libpthread.so). 

Having built gcc once, I added --with-newlib to the gcc configure. I
also added --enable-languages=c because enabling all languages increases
the build time for gcc, and I don't think (correct me please if I'm
wrong) that I'll need c++, objc, java or ada to build init, bash, login
and so on.

My final configure for gcc looks like this:

../gcc-3.3.2/configure --target=i586-linux \
    --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu \
    --prefix=/home/seb/crossenv/toolchain \
    --with-sysroot=/home/seb/crossenv/rootfs \
    --with-newlib --enable-languages=c,c++
  
I tried last night to build newlib, but it didn't work straight off, so
I went to bed. Will try a bit later today, but it's a beautiful sunny
day here in Sheffield, England, so I'm going to get the Sunday paper and
sit in the garden :)

Seb.
