Aron,

I've recently done just this, same host and target. I used GCC
3.2.3 with GLIBC 2.3.2 w/ Linuxthreads and Binutils 2.14. This
worked fine.

Check out a package called "crosstools". It's a nice tool that
will tell you about working combinations, actaully download these
tarballs off the web, find any applicable patches, apply them,
configure the tools for your host and target, build them and
finally install it at your deisred location. All this from
running a single SHELL file. This is what I did and it worked
like a charm.

I've currently used this toolchain to compile 2.4.x kernels,
haven't tried
2.6.x.

Contact me if you want any more details.

Thank you, I will take a look.
