That's great. Hoping I'll be able to use your patches against what I
have so I can keep just one cross-compiler for kernel/u-boot building.

Leif: I've had some much better success switching to this toolchain:

gcc-3.2.3-glibc-2.2.3-binutils-2.13

However, now I'm getting the following error when building. I know it looks 
long and NASTY, but it basically amounts to an undefined reference. 
I was hoping you might know the solution.
 
Also, Yes, I know ld segfaults which is very bad and probably indicates a 
broken toolchain...sigh...I hope I don't get spanked for that! The undefined 
reference does come before the segfault though.
