In 'angstrom-2008.1' 'libc' from
f58a5d59b755bdb725497f574a8059529c134c27 and without any external
toolchain specified: gmp and gmp-native built OK

In 'angstrom-2008.1' 'libc' from
f58a5d59b755bdb725497f574a8059529c134c27 plus "[PATCH] distro,
toolchain-external: override TARGET_VENDOR with TOOLCHAIN_VENDOR" [1]
and with external CSL 2009q1 toolchain specified: gmp and gmp-native
built OK

In 'angstrom-2008.1' 'libc' from
f58a5d59b755bdb725497f574a8059529c134c27 and with external CSL 2009q1
toolchain specified: gmp and gmp-native fail:

NOTE: Running task 160 of 171 (ID: 93,

ERROR: function do_configure failed

I think I know what's happening.

Without "[PATCH] distro, toolchain-external: override TARGET_VENDOR
with TOOLCHAIN_VENDOR" [1] applied, TARGET_SYS =
"arm-none-linux-gnueabi" must be set to avoid lots of
"arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi not found" errors. With the patch applied
I don't have to which must make the --target and --host arguments
match again.

I'm sorry for the noise, I'll withdraw this patch from consideration.
