instalation of gcc as a cross compiler

[parodi75@yahoo.com]

I am following the instructions in
http://www.objsw.com/CrossGCC/
for installing gcc as a cross compiler.

my host is i586-linux-gnu (RedHat Linux 8.0 on a PC),
the target is arm-aout, the source versions are
binutils-2.9, gcc-2.95.2, glibc-2.0.6.

i'm getting two errors while isntalling gcc:

(1) lots of (glibc) header files missing when
compiling gcc (had to copying them manually from the
glibc-2.0.6 directory)... aparently the gcc configure
script did not set up the gcc build directory
correctly.

(2) during a late step of gcc compilation, i get the
following error:
" ...checking whether the C compiler (...) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration
problem: C compiler cannot create executables
make[1]: Entering directory
'/home/gparodi/xcomp/build-gcc/arm-out/libio' "

what am i doing wrong? i am following the instructions
to the letter...

thanks.
