i use trunk to cross compile for arm, but i think fixes_2_2 will also
work.  you should use 2.2.0 as a starting compiler (but 2.0.4) also
works for me.

you have to tell the build system where your binutils are
(BINUTILSDIR=/home/nataraj/arm-2008q1/) and what prefix you use
(BINUTILSPREFIX=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-).  then you need to use
CROSSOPT="-CfSOFT" for the softfloat business.

all the packages get built for me, it just dies near the end of make
crossinstall.

the buildfaq contains good info (thanks to marco):
