My problem is that on doing the linking step, I'm getting a complaint that it can't figure out how to build the /usr/cross/usr/lib/libc.a (/usr/cross being my toolls destdir). I don't know how to fix this in the build, so I'd appreciate any hints. I mean, it *seems* to me that these tools are meant to run on my current host (i386), not the target (arm) so it really should already know about my /usr/lib/libc.a (or shared version)) right?
