Try crosstool: http://www.kegel.com/crosstool/

After extracting the tarball, edit the ./demo-arm-softfloat.sh  
script.  You should remove the lines with GLIBC_ADDON_NPTL because  
NPTL should be disabled.  One of the last lines in the config  
specifies which gcc and glibc version to compile against, choose the  
one that's suitable for you (we use gcc-3.4.4 and glibc-2.3.5).   
Finally make sure that "--gdb" is given to as an argument for the  
all.sh script.

Run demo-arm-softfloat.sh and see how you go!
