Well I don't maintain the linux compiler, but I have always wanted to
change the emulated one with a native crosscompiler. The new (BTW, could
some just commit it ? ;-) ) crosssco uses the latest binutils, which is
probably the cause for your problems.
If you build the new kit with TARGET=i386-linux and replace newlib with
the native linux libraries it might work better, and even configure
could detect it.
I've always wanted to change this, but
1) I never recieved any feedback if this was desirable.
2) I don't have time to hunt and package the latest linux libs.
3) I don't work with linux :-).

cheers,
	Pedro.
