Re: Issue building gcc-cross-initial

[Denys Dmytriyenko <denys@ti.com>]

Ok, it took me some time and effort (the error is severely misleading), but I 
was finally able to trace down what causes the breakage in the internal 
toolchain:

http://arago-project.org/git/?p=meta-arago.git;a=commitdiff;h=e9797a456c99c890e5ff62334b7d65e1ff7db676

The addition of libc-headers version used for the platform into the 
PACKAGE_ARCH causes gcc-cross-initial to not find binutils binaries during 
bootstrap.

I'm still trying to figure out if it would be possible to unbreak the build, 
while keeping the change, but at least it should be possible to have a quick 
workaround for now...
