It's propably painful to work your way through crosstools with such an
old toolchain. I would have a look if one of the ELDK's from
http://www.denx.de can be used for your board - at least for a good start.
If you run into problems with older linux-2.4 kernel version with the newer ELDK's,
you can also go back to some older version?
