I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to do here, but please note
that this method to run the ELDK tool chain is almost always wrong.
Please stick to the documetnation provided in the manula, i. e. set
CROSS_COMPILE correctly, and then use ${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc to run the
compiler.

Of course this is possible, and using "gcc" is actually pretty
dangerous.

ELDK 4.2 works just find in Ubuntu 12.04, without modifications.
Just follow the documentation and use the supported ways to use it,
then all this should not be needed.


Bye the way: ELDK 4.2 is really obsolete; we are at ELDK 5.2 now (and
actually ELDK v5.2.1 is on the verge of being released).
