Thanks!
Some of those patches look like they are incompatible
with building a little-endian arm toolchain, so they
should only be applied if you only want big-endian, right?

I've seen a number of problems like that in the past
on other processors.  It would be very helpful if
you could run the gcc and glibc regression tests.
It takes some work to set up the remote chroot
environment, and the tests take a long time to run,
but it's all documented in crosstool/doc,
and it's the best way to attack this kind of problem
IMHO.  Post the summaries once you've got 'em...
