Binutils cross SDK does need -Wno-error when compiling with gcc 4.3. 
Yes, I am using Intrepid already.





[issue 2]


phenomenon:
egrep: Invalid range end
/usr/bin/texi2dvi: cannot read .//home/ben/tools/toolchain/arm-2007q3-51/obj/binutils-src-2007q3-51-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-linux-gnu/bfd/doc/bfd.texinfo, skipping.
make[4]: *** [bfd.pdf] Error 1

solution:
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/texinfo/util/texi2dvi?root=texinfo&r1=1.157&r2=1.158
fix texi2dvi in host /usr/bin/texi2dvi
echo "$command_line_filename" | $EGREP '^(/|[A-z]:/)' >&6 /  <==>  echo "$command_line_filename" | $EGREP '^(/|[A-Za-z]:/)' >&6 /

The offending line is here:
1686:  echo "$command_line_filename" | $EGREP '^(/|[A-z]:/)' >&6 /
The problem is locale-dependent. With LC_ALL=C it works, with LANG=de_DE.utf8
it doesn't. I suggest you replace 'A-z' with 'A-Za-z', or pass LC_ALL=C to the
egrep invocation.

/bin/bash: epstopdf: command not found

You have to increase the save_size in your tex configuration (in
 /etc/texmf/texmf.d/95NonPath.cnf for debian): since the introduction of texinfo 
references for the seealso fields, the octave documentation has been too large


for the default tex settings, from 50000 to 100000.




etc/texmf/texmf.cnf, /etc/texmf/texmf.d/95NonPath.cnf, /etc/texmf/texmf.d/95NonPath.cnf.ucf-dist





tips:

1. nchen -> ben
2. i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -> i686-linux-gnu-gcc
3. when binutil/gdb configure, --enable-install-libbfd --disable-werror
