OK.  With -current sources, you'll want to at least build a current
cross-toolchain with 'build.sh -t -m evbarm' or similar.  This will
give you a -current nbconfig and nbmake-evbarm, among other things.
If you use these, you should be in good shape.  There are other
useful options to give build.sh, BTW, and this should make your
cross-compilation much easier, on the whole.

It is necessary to upgrade some of the development tools.  I think
there is also an outstanding PR in GNATS that a full build of
-current from 1.5.3 will fail due to the host system lacking some
header files--this can either be hacked around (by installing the
required header(s) piecemeal, for example) or you can bite the
bullet and upgrade the host.
