Interesting suggestions...

Since the complaint is about armeb-linux-uclibc-as:

/tmp/openwrt/trunk/staging_dir/toolchain-armeb_gcc4.1.2/bin/armeb-linux-uclibc-as: 
unrecognized option `-Qy'

I'm wondering why you would think that this is a RedHat problem, or a 
problem with the distro that I'm running.  Is there some connection 
between the options accepted by armeb-linux-uclibc-as and the tools of 
the OS?

armeb-linux-uclibc-as was (presumably) built as part of this toolchain, 
which involves a whole gcc compile.

FC8 would seem to be a pretty mainstream distro.  I could play distro 
bingo and go through options, but that doesn't seem to be the best way 
to solve a build problem.

Thanks,

Jim
