GCC 3.4.4 compilation error for arm-linux target

[Rowan Potgieter]

Hi there
I'm currently in the process of building gcc 3.4.4 for an arm-linux
target (specifically the intel IXDP425) and I've encountered the
following error:

make[2]: arm-linux-ar: Command not found
make[2]: *** [ libgcc.a] Error 127
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/stareast/Network_Processor_Project/SnapGear_cd/tools/arm-linux/gcc-3.4.4/arm-linux/gcc'
make[1]: *** [stmp-multilib] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/stareast/Network_Processor_Project/SnapGear_cd/tools/arm-linux/gcc-
3.4.4/arm-linux/gcc'
make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2

I'm not too sure why it would give me this error as arm-linux-ar does
exist in my /usr/local/bin directory?? i also have performed the exact
operation on another pc and it worked fine...?
previous to the make command i used the following configure command:

../configure --target=arm-linux --disable-shared --disable-threads \
--prefix=/usr/local --with-headers=linux-2.4.x/include \
--with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --enable-multilib --enable-languages=c

any help would be greatly appreciated
thank you
