2440 toolchain compilation fails

I encounter an error when compiling the toolchain (strictly following the
quickstart PDF):

gcc -c  -g  -DIN_GCC -DCROSS_DIRECTORY_STRUCTURE  -W .... genmodes.c
  
/opt/OSELAS.Toolchain-2011.03.1/arm-v4t-linux-gnueabi/gcc-4.5.2-glibc-2.13-binut
ils-2.21-kernel-2.6.36-sanitized/bin/arm-v4t-linux-gnueabi-as:
unrecognized option '--32'

Why is the arm cross assembler invoked when building the toolchain? I would
expect that the host (ubuntu) gcc assembler is invoked.

NB  the problem occurs in the directory
/.../build-cross/gcc-4.5.2-first-build/gcc. This directory contains a local
'as' script, which invokes the arm cross assembler.

Any thoughts?

Sorry for the rather rude entry! I was too busy with the problem itself...
I should have added:

I looked in the forum but did not find anything alike. Hopefully someone
can help me!

Thanks in advance

Might get a quicker response here:

I found the cause of the problem: my path variable was set to '.' first, so
that indeed the local (arm) as was invoked by the gcc instead of the x86
assembler.

Maybe that the ptxdist could check for this situation?

Typert,

thanks for the report. I will forward it to the toolchain developers.

Tybert,

can you setup again your system in the same way when the error happens and
then run "ptxdist print PATH"?
Background: PTXdist is already prepared to sort out the "." in the PATH.
But it seems not work reliable in some way. So, your help is needed.
