Error compiling for java

Thu Dec 14 07:55:00 GMT 2006

There is something wrong either with your libc or your cross-compiler 
configuration commands, I am not sure which.
Your libc build should include all the necessary headers before you 
start configuring and building the cross compiler. The fact that you 
are adding files to it indicates that it is badly broken.
The compiler build process will not clobber the libc header files if 
configured in a sane manner. Placing syscall.h in a place that is 
touched be the GCC build process is almost certainly a bad idea. Note 
that if you are not using --with-sysroot= to configure, GCC may make a 
copy of the headers. But that does not change the need for all the 
proper headers to exist in the libc include directory before you start.
You could try asking on crossgcc@sourceware.org as it appears that you 
are using crosstool. Many of the crosstool developers read that list 
and are generally fairly responsive to questions.
