That's where I came out.. bash in involved in this somehow.

You're building an older version. I believe I had a problem with this when I
built your version. I had no such problem with 4.3.2

I did install texinfo

I got 4.3.2 by going to www.gnuarm.org/support.html and then backing into the
Files tab.

No point in building something that's been upgraded.

that I think of it, it made no sense whatsoever to choose Ubuntu for this second

I have been using Ubuntu since 8.04 (so a little over a year). I moved from Red
Hat Enterprise WS 4 (which came with my x64 Dell Precision Workstation). I like
Ubuntu a lot. I think it is the easiest distro to install and maintain.
