ok, finally trying out the uclibc patch for crosstool...

[Dan Kegel <dank at kegel dot com>]

It failed with
+ test -f /home/dank/test/crosstool-0.28-rc5/patches/uClibc-0.9.23/Makefiles-relocate.patch
+ patch -g0 --fuzz=1 -p1 -f
+ cat patch30786.log
patching file Makefile
Hunk #7 FAILED at 258.
1 out of 10 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file Makefile.rej

It failed later with
+ sed -i -f munge-defconfig.sed .config
sed: file munge-defconfig.sed line 2: Invalid reference \1 on `s' command's RHS
because of missing \ on the ('s and )'s on lines 1 and 4 of munge-defconfig.sed.
(I'm on Red Hat 9; sed here is GNU sed version 4.0.5.)

So I put a fixed version up at http://kegel.com/crosstool/crosstool-uclibc-0.28-rc5-ter.patch

Sadly, that crashed when building C++, with error

so I gave up on C++ and just built C.  Well, I would, but I
have to go play with my son for a while.  Anyway, here's what
I have so far.

Here's a script that downloads and builds
everything.  Save this as x.sh, then do
  sh x.sh > x.log 2>&1 &
and watch its progress with
  tail -f x.log


#!/bin/sh
set -ex
