Dear Joel,

when looking back in the log, I can?t see a reason for the symbol table
to be missing.

I noticed, however, that ar and ranlib is obviously taken from the
binutils-2.9.1 whereas gcc is the host gcc ( I have version 2.7.2.3).
Does my gcc not understand the symbol table created by the
binutils-2.9.1 - ranlib? However, I succesfully built the
egcs-1.1b/newlib-1.8.0/binutils-2.9.1 - toolchain succesfully with host
gcc 2.7.2.3.

For the relevant part of the output of the bit script -see below.
