Hi Mark,

Please bear with me while I put everything in a wiki/log page to be accessible
- and visible for inspection :o) - to everyone. (should I submit this to the
freebsd/arm page as a howto as well?). Have to repeat though the procedure
now that I switched to HEAD.

I had faced the same problem. The problem is possibly something that
was reported as a bug against gcc, that involves acx.m4 getting the wrong path
to ${host_subddir} 4.5.0 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40191
What I did was hand editing the Makefile and changing the offended variable
$host_subdir to what it should be. For me it was "host-i386-unknown-freebsd"
Then restarted gmake. So it doesn't seem to be --multilib, and although I had
thought exactly the same (disabling it!) it looks like it is required.
You will come across a few more sub-packages that face the same problem.
The treatment is the same. :o)
It will ultimately stop (fail) when it will try to find libc... That's where I am now :o)
Kind regards,
Vassilis L.
