In fact, after another attempt (following an update), none of the binutils or
texinfo tools get installed into the cross toolchain tree. So, I manually
installed them, and now the build gets a lot further (I'm not sure if it gets
all the way through yet - I left another build running before I left for work
this morning). However, I'm getting lots of messages like this when building
libraries:

   building standard c library     
   trap: Illegal number: EXIT      
   trap: Illegal number: HUP

This seems to happen for each library, at the link stage (the libraries *do*
get built, and I can inspect their contents using 'nm', but I don't know if
binaries linked to these libs work yet).
