[GUB] freebsd binutils

[Graham Percival]

Trying to build GUB fails on the freebsd binutils; I get:
    checking for C compiler default output file name... configure:
error: in `/main/src/gub/target/freebsd-x86/build/cross/binutils-2.19.1':
    configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
    See `config.log' for more details.

Looking at config.log, I see these suspicious lines:

So libc wasn't built correctly for the freebsd target?  Any advice
gratefully received.  (this machine is ubuntu, sigh, because the
network card isn't supported in Lenny)
I'm off to bed now.  :)
