error when building gcc using buildroot/toolchain

[liran tal]

Hey everyone,

In steps to building a cross-compiler for mips I've downloaded
buildroot and followed
the basic procedure of 'make menuconfig', setting Target Arch to mips,
leaving the default
options of Target ABI to EABI and all the rest.

During the 'make' build I'm getting the error:

I've tried several things:
1. Using the svn version of uClibc
2. Using different versions of gcc (including gcc-4.2.1, gcc-4.1.2 and gcc-3.4.6

It all resulted in the same error.
The machine I'm running buildroot on is Debian Etch with gcc 4.1.1-21.

In another attempt, I've also tried getting the svn of buildroot on a Mandrake10
machine with gcc 3.3.2-6mdk but still the same error appears.


This seems to be more than just a "configuration" or system-specific error.
Is there any work-around?
