RedHat 7.3 i386 P4 kernel-2.4.18-4
>Description:
The arm-linux cross compiler won't compile on i386 linux. I've tried gcc version 2.96 20000731 and gcc version 3.0.2 20010905. My configure line was "./configure --prefix=/opt/gcc-arm-cross-compile --target=arm-linux --program-suffix=_armx". I've tried on two RedHat versions, 7.2 and 7.3. 
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile the arm-linux cross-compiler on x86 Redhat linux versions 7.2 or 7.3 (probably others).
