I believe that the key is this line: >>> NOTE: multiple providers are available for virtual/arm-angstrom-linux-binutils (external-toolchain, binutils-cross); >>> NOTE: consider defining PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/arm-angstrom-linux-binutils I added a line in local.conf to set the preferred provider for virtual/arm-angstrom-linux-binutils to binutils-cross, and now things appear to be building (it's been building for an hour or so now, which is way farther than it got before). For some reason the example local.conf.sample incudes the following PREFERRED_PROVIDERS += "virtual/${TARGET_PREFIX}gcc-initial:gcc-cross-initial" PREFERRED_PROVIDERS += " virtual/${TARGET_PREFIX}gcc:gcc-cross" PREFERRED_PROVIDERS += " virtual/${TARGET_PREFIX}g++:gcc-cross" but doesn't doesn't select binutils-cross. I would suggest adding this line to local.conf.sample: PREFERRED_PROVIDERS += "virtual/${TARGET_PREFIX}binutils:binutils-cross" Or at least mentioning it on the "Getting Started" page, because if you follow the steps on that page exactly, it won't work unless you add the above line to local.conf. -- Grant
