cross compiling eglibc with Linaro toolchain

[shyamalan sivan]

Hello experts,

I don't know whether this is the place to ask this question.Please forgive
if i am wrong.

I am trying to cross-compile Eglibc,(which i thought is similar to the
glibc) library with Linaro tool chain.My aim is to cross-compile the
library and add it with the tool-chain( i assumed that Linaro doesn't ahve
the eglibc libraries by  itself).
.
I referred to the link http://www.eglibc.org/archives/patches/msg00078.html
  (README.cross-compiling of the libc) and did the following.

I thought that binutils is not required as the tool chain itself contains
the loader, assembler etc.(which are the most important in the binutils).So
i skipped that step.(i am not sure whether this is right.please correct me
if i am wrong).

I did the below steps as in the above link.

1) Copied the Linux Kernel Headers
2) EGLIBC Headers and Preliminary Objects

2.1) configuring the Eglibc headers by the below steps.

appan at oplt$ ~/cross_compile_eglibc/ppc/obj/eglibc-headers$ BUILD_CC=gcc
CC=/home/appan/cross_compile_eglibc/ppc/tools/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc
CXX=/home/appan/cross_compile_eglibc/ppc/tools/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-cpp
AR=/home/appan/cross_compile_eglibc/ppc/tools/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-ar
RANLIB=/home/appaan/cross_compile_eglibc/ppc/tools/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-ranlib
/home/appan/cross_compile_eglibc/src/libc/configure
--prefix=/home/appan/CC_EGLIBC
--with-headers=/home/appan/cross_compile_eglibc/ppc/sysroot/usr/include/
--build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=arm-unknown-linux-gnu --enable-add-ons
--with-tls --with-__thread

2.2) compilation

make install-headers install_root=$sysroot install-bootstrap-headers=yes

But following is the error i get.

> /home/appan/cross_compile_eglibc/ppc/obj/eglibc-headers/Versions.v.iT<http://versions.v.it/>
In file included from <stdin>:1:0:
ports/sysdeps/arm/nptl/tls.h:48:3: error: #*error "TLS support is required.*
"
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `headers_install'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/appan/cross_compile_eglibc/src/libc'
make: *** [headers_install] Error 2

I tried googling, but i did not  get the solution for this..
please provide me with some suggestions and that will be of great help to
me...

thanks and regards
appan
