Thanks Phil. My conf now reads like this -

PREFERRED_VERSION_gcc                    = "4.2.3+csl-arm-2008q1-126"
PREFERRED_VERSION_gcc-cross              = "4.2.3+csl-arm-2008q1-126"
PREFERRED_VERSION_gcc-cross-initial      = "4.2.3+csl-arm-2008q1-126"
PREFERRED_VERSION_gcc-cross-intermediate = "4.2.3+csl-arm-2008q1-126"
When i do a clean build , it fails at gcc-cross-initial do_compile task.
This is the log-

OE is trying to make a link but the directory is missing. Any ideas ? My
binutils was built fine with version 2.18.50.0.7
