I configure it on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit with the following: ~/m/gcc/gcc-4.8/configure \ --prefix=/tmp/gcc/prefix --target=arm-linux-androideabi --host=x86_64-linux-gnu --build=x86_64-linux-gnu \ --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --enable-languages=c,c++ \ --with-gmp=/tmp/gcc/temp-install \ --with-mpfr=/tmp/gcc/temp-install \ --with-mpc=/tmp/gcc/temp-install \ --with-cloog=/tmp/gcc/temp-install \ --with-isl=/tmp/gcc/temp-install \ --with-ppl=/tmp/gcc/temp-install \ --disable-ppl-version-check --disable-cloog-version-check --disable-isl-version-check \ --enable-cloog-backend=isl \ --with-host-libstdcxx="-static-libgcc -Wl,-Bstatic,-lstdc++,-Bdynamic -lm" \ --disable-libssp \ --enable-threads \ --disable-libmudflap --disable-libstdc__-v3 --disable-sjlj-exceptions --disable-shared \ --disable-tls --disable-libitm --disable-nls --disable-bootstrap --disable-libquadmath --disable-libsanitizer \ --with-float=soft --with-fpu=vfp --with-arch=armv5te \ --enable-target-optspace --enable-initfini-array \ --with-sysroot=/tmp/gcc/prefix/sysroot \ --enable-plugins --enable-libgomp \ --enable-gold=default
