binutils-2.17
gcc-4.1.1
newlib-1.16.0
gdb-6.7 (Alex doesn't say which version he used)

Build details:

    # binutils
    ln -s binutils-2.17 binutils
    cd binutils
    gmake -k distclean
    ./configure \
	--target=arm-elf \
	--prefix=/usr/local \
	--enable-interwork \
	--enable-multilib \
	--with-float=soft
    gmake all
    gmake install
    cd ..

    # Chicken and egg problem: Need to install newlib includes
    # here so gcc will build...
