I think the issue was that I am using Eclipse to manage my build and it 
was over writing the GCC parameters.

I believe it was calling arm-*-*-* directly and not using ${CC} if that 
makes sense? Therefore it didn't know where to find the libraries and 
includes. Passing the --sysroot option to the compiler and the linker 
now lets it build.

Eclipse is still having issues looking in the right directory for 
includes and I don't know what is causing that - but it compiles and 
links fine now.

If I can provide more information then I would be happy to. I think I 
agree and I'm still not fully convinced that it's completely fixed.

Cheers,
