You are trying to build the Fortran runtime which is not supported for
the cross-compiler situation.  You can avoid this by making just C and
C++ using:

    make LANGUAGES="c gcov c++" all install

The approved way is to use

    make cross

which does much the same thing. However, when you come to install the
cross-compiler, "make install" or "make cross install" will still try and
build the Fortran runtime, since target "install" depends on "all" (or
equivalent). So I just use the first method.

Jeff, maybe this minor problem (and a better fix, if there is one) could
be mentioned in the new ECGS install document/FAQ?
