#30 Toolchain build fails
Running make mvp following a download of mvpmc-0.3.4 fails with an error - no ppc405 cross compiler is installed so it should have built one itself, but the error is relating to the cross compiler gcc etc. not existing.
Looking back through the log it appears that the download of the linux-libc-headers-2.4.25.tar.bz2 failed, but the build script did not stop at this point, but tried to carry on.
The problem appears to be that the required file has moved location on the server to http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/old-releases/toolchain/linux-libc-headers-2.4.25.tar.bz2. - the build script was not looking in "old-releases".
Downloading it manually and putting it in ~/downloads appears to have allowed the build to progress (but it is not finished yet....).
For info I am using Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid), but I do not think this is a host distribution issue.

This appears to have been fixed, but I can't find exactly where. In any case, the offending tarball is now being downloaded from:
http://www.uclibc.org/downloads/old-releases/toolchain/linux-libc-headers-2.4.31.tar.bz2
more or less as suggested by the bug description. Probably the problem was fixed implicitly when moving from 2.4.25 to 2.4.31.
