glibc 2.3.3 target:arm-linux host:cygwin elf-init.c linker error

[Jean Olivier Caron <jecar at mlab dot t dot u-tokyo dot ac dot jp>]

Hello all,

I'll try to be clear.

target  = arm-linux -> aiming at development on the IPAQh5450
host = cygwin version
$ uname -rv
1.5.10(0.116/4/2) 2004-05-25 22:07
kernel headers = 2.4.19-rmk6-pxa1-hh36

After many trials with different combinations of binutils/glibc/gcc I 
successfully compiled :
->binutils 2.14 for arm-linux
$ arm-linux-ld -version
GNU ld version 2.14 20030612
-> glibc 2.3.3 headers in order to compile gcc for arm-linux
-> arm-linux-gcc 3.4.2
$ arm-linux-gcc -v
Reading specs from /gnutools/lib/gcc/arm-linux/3.4.2/specs
Configured with: /src/gcc-3.4.2/configure --target=arm-linux 
--prefix=/gnutools
--disable-shared --with-header=/gnutools/arm-linux/include --with-newlib 
--enabl
e-languages=c
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.2

However, I am now trying to compile glibc once more using the 
cross-compiler arm-linux-gcc
and I get this error at the linker.  I have read something similar 
regarding a syllable architecture  where libc versionning was the problem,
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2004-01/msg00309.html
but honestly I have no clue what to do from now.....If anyone could give 
an insight on how to deal with this it would be greatly appreciated.
