Description: 
Building of arm-eabi toolchain fails due to missing linker emulation:

This is actually a Blocking issue, since cannot use Buildroot without EABI
support.

post your
egrep -v "^(#|$)" .config
egrep -v "^(#|$)" uClibc.config
egrep -v "^(#|$)" busybox.config
egrep -v "^(#|$)" kernel.config

So i can try to reproduce it locally.

I have the same problem with : 
buildroot rev 17204
ARM920T / EABI / gcc-3.4.6
see below for my .config and uClibc.config

1st error is bug 1131 :
file toolchain_build_arm_nofpu/uClibc/libc/misc/glob/glob.c  line 364 
#if !defined COMPILE_GLOB64
to 
#if defined __UCLIBC_HAS_LFS__ && !defined COMPILE_GLOB64

2nd error :

after that all is ok
I hope this can help you

Still does not work using original settings (buildroot-20070214), looks
like it just won't work for 3.4.3. Still, now we have the external
toolchain option !

Let me spell this out:

- 3.4 is DEAD.
- 4.1, which is the current stable release deals with this fine

It will not be fixed for the long outdated and not maintained, deprecated
version 3.4.x nor 4.0.x unless _you_ provide a working patch that _you_
support for this alleged glitch.

Put short, Not an issue since it works for current, _stable_ stuff.
Not an issue since it works for current expreimental (new) toolchains.
Will not fix for outdated, unmaintained, deprecated setups.
Thanks for your understanding.

Only reopening to add comment - then close again !

Re the previous note (berhhardf) - I was asked to "retest" (2007-02-04),
which I
did using the same parameters pertaining to my original report. A test
does not
have meaning if several of the parameters change each time !

If you have seen any of my postings on this subject on the buildroot
newsgroup,
you will know that I was wanting to use this combination for compatibility
with
3rd-party supplied object modules, built with a 3.4.3 EABI Arm toolchain,
which
were not available in source form, and which the linker refused to link
with
buildroot toolchain generated objects.

However, now that the External Toolchain option is available for
Buildroot,
it should be possible to rebuild applications using this toolchain,
and link against the prebuilt objects.

Now that I have "spelt that out" I hope it's clear why I added that note.
There is certainly no need for heavy-handed sarcasm: but if I misread
the tone of that note, apologies in turn !

Note on compiler version 'improvements'.

Looking around comparisons of GCC, I note the following:
(http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2006-December/068108.html)

>>
>Actually, 4.1.x will produce much worse code than 3.4.6.
>You can search the gcc mail listings for extensive comparison
>by Clinton Whaley (the author of math/atlas) for details

I would call 4.0 the "make it work" stage.  gcc 4.1 concentrated 
on bug fixes, and gcc 4.2 has started to remove the warts (e.g.,
slow compilation times, bloated generated code, etc.)
<<

so it doesn't follow that 'the bigger the version number, the better the
compiler'. From those comments it looks as if 3.4.x is a better bet in the
 short-term ... FWIW.

[OK the thread above does imply that 4.2 has better ARM support as well
;-) ]
