This is  known problem. See the FAQ at
http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/ELDKInstallationAborts

Note that the description is for PowerPC; for ARM you  will  need  to
tweak the package lists.

Blame it on the glibc guys who  cannot  provide  a  library  that  is
either  backward  compatible or capable of building a real statically
linked image.

For PowerPC you can use ELDK Release 3.0 which should show up on  the
FTP server in a day or two from now.
