Problems building on Centos 5

I have been trying to build the WGR14L Source Code on Centos 5 and have been running into a few problems.

I have followed the documentation as best as I can tell.  The readme files in the toolchain build get a little confusing, but I think I have them straight now.  I was going through the steps to build the toolchain and ran the build-tools.sh script.  Binutils built ok by xgcc failed at

/root/netgear/tools/TOOLSOURCE_2004_03_31/org/tools-src/gnu/gcc/gcc/read-rtl.c: In function ‘read_rtx’:
/root/netgear/tools/TOOLSOURCE_2004_03_31/org/tools-src/gnu/gcc/gcc/read-rtl.c:662: error: invalid lvalue in increment
gmake[1]: *** [read-rtl.o] Error 1

Googling this led me to discussion about this being a problem compiling GCC with later version of GCC, especially V4.  Which is what Centos 5 has, 4.1.2.  But I booted up a copy of Fedora Core 8 and it has 4.1.2 also, a slightly earlier version.  I have read elsewhere on the forums that Fedora 8 works.

So has anyone built on Centos 5 or know how to overcome this error?

Interstingly enough, when I continue through the build steps, I can actually build a firmware successfullly.  The problem being it won't boot after it is loaded on the router.  I get the following error:

802.1Q VLAN Support v1.7 Ben Greear <[email protected]>

VFS: Mounted root (squashfs filesystem) readonly.

initKernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
: relocation err or: /lib/libc.so<0>Rebooting in 3 seconds...6: undefined symbol: __register_frame_info

Could the undefined symbol be the result of an improperly built toolchain, but with an image file still being produced?

Any help you could provide would be appreciated.

I attemtped a build on Fedora

I attemtped a build on Fedora Core 7 and got the same result. Can anyone describe the process they used to successfully build the Netgear code?
