I am currently trying to do the same thing, without much success :(
Just now I have sent a call-for-help e-mail to this list.

It turned out that there is a bug in binutils-2.11. I has been solved by Alan Modra and Peter Targett (great fellows). Therefore, you'd better download binutils from the CVS repository, as explained in gnu web pages.

There is also something that doesn't work in gcc-2.95.3: GAS complains about some assembler function definitions in gcc/config/arc/initfini.c . But I don't know whose fault is this. However, it seems that can be solved by returning this file into an old version. I can send you a patch if you want to try, but I'm not sure that this is the right solution (I don't know assembler that much).

I haven't seen in  newlib nor glibc libraries' documentation that the
ARC cpu is supported.

My approach has been to build each component separately, so I have no experience with this script.

I get other errors. If you finally succeed with your approach, please let me know.

I would also like to know it.
