I am well aware of the dangers of incompatible tools. :) But last time with rockboxdev.sh I tried installing arm-elf and arm-eabi tools at the same time, and I ended up with compilation errors partway through the build. Not sure what the cause was, but in the end I downloaded the gcc/binutils/newlib sources (from the URLs in rockboxdev.sh, no less!) and built them myself. Just started running rockboxdev.sh again - this time things are looking much better. So far. :) Thanks Andrew
