Hi Peter,

can you be a little more specific about what toolchain you are using?
I'm using crosstool but the most recent thing that it seems to like is
gcc-3.4.5 + glibc 2.3.6. I don't mind working on crosstool a bit to get
a newer gcc working, but I'd be grateful of any advice on versions to
avoid too much stabbing in the dark.
