They are basically the same, but slightly different configurations.

>From the messages below, it does not look like 'xscale-elf-gcc' is calling
the appropriate 'xscale-elf-ld' file.  When you built these, what "configure"
line did you use?  In particular, what were the values for --prefix and
--host-prefix?

  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This should be the xscale-elf version, not any arm-linux one.
