Hi Dan,

There are a bunch of references if you google for:
  ubuntu dash crosstool

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ubuntu+dash+crosstool&btnG=Google+Search

Ubuntu uses dash for /bin/sh.  dash chokes on some glibc header file lines
generated by the build.

Here is a sample error line, copied from one of those Google hits:
  /home/skorpio/crosstool-0.43/build/powerpc-405-linux-gnu/gcc-4.1.0-glibc-2.3.6/build-glibc/csu/version-info.h:2:1: missing terminating " character

Hope that helps,
Chuck
