For ARM-EABI you need binutils-2.16.91.0.7; 2.16.1 is too old.
Crosstool has support in it for downloading this from the correct place.

I use GCC_CORE_DIR=gcc-4.1.0 (or rather, I don't specify it, so it is
the same as GCC_DIR)

I get this error too, but the build goes ahead ok.

If this is the arm.config supplied with crosstool, you need to make a
kernel .config for the EABI version. i call mine earm.config;
arm-eabi.config may be a better name.
To do this, unpack linux-2.6.16, cd into it and go
cp ../arm.config .config
make ARCH=arm oldconfig
make ARCH=arm menuconfig
set the right kernel options and then when you have quit menuconfig
cp .config ../arm-eabi.config

There is my sample earm.config under
http://freaknet.org/martin/crosstool which yuo can use as a .config to
start from but you will need to change the processor settings for this
to work; mine is set to ARM1026, for which the linux kernel needs a
patch... this is work in progress.
