/* Use at your own risk */

1) Get the latest stable versions of binutils, gcc and glibc from ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu

In my case these are:
binutils-2.13.1.tar.gz
gcc-3.2.tar.gz
glibc-2.3.1.tar.gz

2) Gunzip and untar them to your src/ directory.

In my case :
cd /root/ipaq/src
tar zxvf <substitute the above files>

3) Create your build directory.

mkdir /root/ipaq/build
cd /root/ipaq/build
mkdir binutils-2.13.1 gcc-3.2 glibc-2.3.1

4) Choose your --prefix, --target and --host and configure binutils.

cd binutils-2.13.1
/root/ipaq/src/binutils-2.13.1/configure --target=xscale-*-elf --prefix=/root/ipaq/local --host=i386
make
make install

5) Build GCC - first pass.

cd /root/ipaq/build/gcc-3.2/

/root/ipaq/src/gcc-3.2/configure --target=xscale-*-elf --host=i386-pc-linux-gnu --prefix=/root/ipaq/local --disable-threads --with-cpu=xscale --enable-languages=c

make

make install

6) Building glibc:

cd /root/ipaq/build/glibc-2.3.1/

/root/ipaq/src/glibc-2.3.1/configure arm-linux --build=i386-pc-linux-gnu
--prefix=/root/ipaq/local/arm-linux --enable-add-ons=linuxthreads

make

make install

7) GCC second pass:

cd /root/ipaq/build/gcc-3.2/

/root/ipaq/src/gcc-3.2/configure --target=xscale-*-elf
--host=i386-pc-linux-gnu --prefix=/root/ipaq/local --with-cpu=xscale
--enable-languages=c

make 

make install
