Can you share what the actual build error is?  And does this error from
make happen when you're compiling the first pass of GCC or at some other
time?

arm-unknown-linux-uclibc should be a valid triplet according to GCC, as
far as I can tell.

What versions of binutils, GCC, and uClibc are you using?

Are you building for a no-mmu system?  If not, are you able to follow
the current embedded book using musl libc and compile statically linked
executables?

If you are able to build using musl, then at least it would narrow down
the problem to how you're using uClibc.

Thanks,
Andrew
