OK, I'll fix what I from now on.  I just don't want to do anything before I am 
sure what I am doing.

No luck.  I repeated the process and got the same errors.  I had to edit the 
crosstool.spec file again to add the option mentioned above, and then after 
restarting I got the same error:

I've uploaded the whole log file to:  
http://64.22.74.205/build_crosstool.log.gz

in case it helps.  It seems that the error is produced by the 'ld' that was 
built by ELDK itself.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
