$ armv5tel-redhat-linux-gnueabi-gcc hello.c /usr/bin/armv5tel-redhat-linux-gnueabi-ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/armv5tel-redhat-linux-gnueabi/4.5.0/libgcc.a when searching for -lgcc
I looked into the binutils sources around the error and narrowed it down to a problem with the archive architecture being "unknown" apparently. At least with this -->
armv5tel-redhat-linux-gnueabi-gcc hello.c -Wl,--accept-unknown-input-arch it's able to advance to complaining about the (legitimate) lack of libc. -Andy
