Hi Clive, I suggest you another way to perform cross compile in general using apropiated cross compilation tools (or toolchains). One of the best is the scratchbox <www.scractchbox.org>. Using it , you can compile your source to any target you want. A debian-based rootstrap is also available at this web site (Rootstrap is a FS). There many tutorials around the net, and many many users around the world (like me), and mail lists. In your case, you'd create a arm target, unpack the debian FS and install it, and then the perform the cross compilation in transparent way, using the benefits of debian dev tools (like apt-get) to speed the process. regards BTW, I didn't see any troubles in your current process ?! Are you getting errros ?!
