libc_start_files fails when building Raspberry Pi toolchain on OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)

[Xavier Lange <xrlange at gmail dot com>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to build a toolchain with crosstool-NG 1.19.0 I'm failing
at 'libc_start_files'. The toolchain will build/host on OSX 10.9
(x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0) and targets the Raspberry Pi
(armv6-rpi-linux-gnueabi). Note: the biggest changes in this build
configuration are binutils uses 2.24 and the build configuration has
"CT_BINUTILS_HAS_GOLD=n".

The fatal error is reporting the terminal as such:

EXTRA]  Saving state to restart at step 'libc_start_files'...

I tried testing my copy of armv6-rpi-linux-gnueabi-gcc for the flag

# test.c
int main(){
  return 0;
}

$ /Volumes/XTChain/blah/.build/armv6-rpi-linux-gnueabi/buildtools/bin/armv6-rpi-linux-gnueabi-gcc
-fstack-protector -c test.c
$ echo $?
0
$ file test.o
test.o: ELF 32-bit LSB relocatable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

It looks like the compiler should support the feature being test but
mysteriously it fails. How can I debug the configure stage of
'libc_start_files' failing?

For more information, please look at the build.log I posted here:

Thanks,
Xavier
