How did you manage to get kernel headers from 2.6.9?

Exporting kernel headers was only addeed in 2.6.10-something, and only
became really possible starting with 2.6.18. So it was not posible to
get kernel headers from 2.6.9. In those times, the kernel headers were
maintained (with some difficulty) in a separate package, named
linux-libc-headers, and that is not supported in crosstool-NG.

You disabled shared library support in uClibc. not sure how that plays
with building gcc.

I know Buildroot has an option to 'prefer' static libs, but IIRC, they
still build a shared-enabled uClibc, and just use the static one. I'd
have to check to be sure.

Please test by enabling shared library support, and retest to see if it
works that way.

Note that if you realy, really want to build static-only, a lot of
packages will fail to build without patching.
