As Wolfgang says, old toolchains will do this.  When trying to compile a recent
checkout using the 20010318 Snapgear toolchain, I got the same error.  When I
upgraded to the 20060615 release, it worked.

Also note that someone recently had a different problem with compiling the 5271
port using the 20060615 toolchain.  Here's a link to his post and someone's
reply on how to fix it:

I haven't looked at the issue yet.  If you (or anyone) gets a chance, it'd be
helpful to know what the issue is and if this is a real fix or just a
workaround.
