[Bug libstdc++/29654] New: cant build arm cross compiler

["jeremy dot gorman at ngc dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

I'm starting with gcc 4.1.1 (as bundled in FC6) on a Dell Latitude D800.
Want to build gcc cross compiler for armv4tl to build a new for arm machine.

Downloaded binutils-2.17 distribution.
configured binutils with
configure --prefix=$HOME/usr/local --target=arm-linux-elf
then did "make" followed by "make install" to build the binutils

Downloaded gcc-4.1.1 distribution and untared it
Added $HOME/usr/local/bin to my path.
Created a new objdir directory next to gcc-4.1.1 distribution.
cd into new objdir, then configure gcc cross compiler as follows:
../gcc-4.1.1/configure --prefix=$HOME/usr/local --program-prefix=arm-linux-elf-
--target=arm-linux-elf
Once configured, I run "make" in the objdir, and everything runs great for a
long time, but then:

The output says to report this, so I am doing so in this bug.
