Problems with recent expat/gdb changes


Hi all,

I've had some trouble with the recent trunk commits that change the
way expat is handled.  A bare-metal mips toolchain I used to be able
to build using crosstool-ng 0.17 now won't compile after moving to
trunk crosstool-ng:

[ERROR]

I have placed the config here:  https://gist.github.com/danielbprice/5711220

This is on a system where libexpat-dev / -devel isn't installed.

It seems to me that there's an issue where, despite requesting static
cross-gdb, crosstool-ng is expecting libexpat to be on the host
system... but I think in this case (as in some other cases handled by
the gdb script), expat should probably be downloaded and linked in by
crosstool-ng, to avoid a dependency on the host system.  Thanks for
any input you can provide.
