Not quite as simple for me. I got a Java exception when doing the make. It 
looked like the toolchain was already built by then, though, so I proceeded. No 
success, though, as the ld command in the toolchain is complaining that it 
can't find crt0.o. Doing a find for crt0.* yields nothing so it seems that 
there may not be any source for it either. I'll keep trying.

Which version of the arm-eabi toolchain did you use? I'm using 4.4.0 at the 
moment, but would prefer to be sure I'm using the same one you are.

Please do as that'd save me some time.
