You need arm-linux userspace/glibc headers so that gcc can build it's support 
libraries.

The easiest way to get these is to copy them from an existing arm-linux 
system, and configure gcc with --with-sysroot=.

In theory you can get these by building glibc. However this depends on having 
a working compiler, which in turn depends on having glibc ... It usually 
takes some manual intervention and judicious installation of half-built 
packages to get this to work.
