FWIW, I'm doing GUB builds on ubuntu.

Yeah, I know that mode.  Sometimes it works, but what always
helps best is to really look what's going on.

For example, it looks to me from the log as if RANLIB fails
with a stack overflow problem.  First, make sure if this is the ranlib
from odcctools and not the ranlib on your system (eg, /usr/bin/ranlib).

Then, make sure -fno-stack-protector is added to the ranlib compile
(and -fno-stack-protector is actually the right switch -- google
may help).

No, as it stands, Han-Wen and I have the most cross build experience
in the world ;-)  Pretty soon now, you're also on that list.  Even
openSUSE/openoffice.org is looking at GUB now :-)
