It's a host C library versioning issue.  I built mb-linux-gcc (the MMU 
toolchain) on a CentOS 5 box, which has glibc 2.5 installed.  The older 
noMMU toolchain was built on CentOS3, which has glibc-2.3.3.

Until I get the time to rebuild the tools on my older box, the 
workaround is to build the mb-linux-gcc toolchain yourself - I posted a 
link to the source package a few weeks ago but let me know if you cannot 
find it.

If anybody has some suggestions on how this issue might be worked 
around, I'm all ears.  It seems likely that C library versioning issues 
must be dealt with better than just building on legacy systems?

Thanks,

John
