Richard,

I think the main issue was that we were using a _really_ old kernel.
Which didn't have a lot of the later patches for the older 715 boxes.

I'm currently trying to roll the toolchain from start to end, and 
automate the process a little. BTW, is there any automation setup for
building the toolchain? Does each developer just have their own way(tm)
of doing the build?

The problem I have now lies in gathering up-to-date src for glibc,
and as Matthew pointed out, it is only available from the debian packages.

I'm currently trying this out.

Cheers,
Carlos.
