You have to use your host tools to build a cross-compile toolchain.
Toolchain = "binutils,gcc etc..."
cross-compile = means that the gcc above *runs* on a PC, but *produces*
ARM code.

The compiler you have on your system currently *runs* on a PC, and
*produces* code to run on a PC.

The simplest way of getting this working is to use buildroot
http://buildroot.uclibc.org/
