check out:

https://iocaste.penguin.de/svn/oselas/toolchain/trunks/OSELAS.Toolchain-trunk

which is to be used with ptxdist-1.99.6:

http://www.pengutronix.de/software/ptxdist/download/v1.99/ptxdist-1.99.6.tgz
http://www.pengutronix.de/software/ptxdist/download/v1.99/ptxdist-1.99.6-patches.tgz

The newest toolchain is:

arm-v4t-linux-gnueabi_gcc-4.3.2-RC-20080819_glibc-2.8-20080811_linux-2.6.26-sanitized
(which uses binutils 2.18, which could be newer)

cheers, Marc
