For reference, when I compiled the 2009q1 toolchain on fedora 11 (with 
the mingw32 package), I had to set configure gdb with --disable-werror
(native and mingw). I also had to configure no iso c extentions for
mingw coreutils, i.e., pushenvvar CC "i686-pc-mingw32-gcc
-D__NO_ISOCEXT" to avoid a function redefined error from stdlib.h

But when I run the mingw32 arm-non-eabi-gcc on windows it says as.exe 
(i.e., gas) can't find zlib1.dll. Don't see a zlib1.dll in mingw install 
directory. Found one in existing "wireshark" application and copied to 
where as.exe resides at <install point>/arm-none-eabi/bin. mingw tools 
now builds application on windows OK.

I guess gas (from binutils) needs zlib?
