I hope not...  Let me try to get to that point and see what's going on.

In my armv7-a build I'm hitting somehow that __ARM_PCS_VFP isn't defined
so gcc is trying to find soft float headers which don't exist as I'm
building for a hard float target.  Odd...  I'm also using the
--with-native-header-dir=${CLFS}/cross-tools/include.  When I get past
this I'm sure I'll hit your spot.

As a side note, would it be worth just putting all the libs and headers
into ${CLFS}/cross-tools and just statically linking everything for the
target?  glibc is quite big and if the goal is just busybox with a few
extras it might be smaller to just statically link.  Probably worth some
testing.

Thanks,
Andrew
