Joshua,

        Ahhhh...  That helped BIG TIME.  Here is the problem:

"/home/devnull/subvn/astlinux-trunk/build_arm_nofpu/staging_dir/bin/arm-linux-uclibc-gcc
 
-DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I..  -I../intl   -Os -pipe -Os -march=armv5te 
-mtune=xscale -Wa,-mcpu=xscale  -I/usr/include -I/usr/include -c 
xvasprintf.c"

        As you can see, it is passing -I /usr/include in CFLAGS to the cross 
compiler, which is trying to include headers from your host operating 
system.  This isn't good.

        The real question is - how does this work on CentOS, and how is your 
distro different?  I think the answer is that you appear to have GNUTLS 
installed, and I don't think I have ever run the dev environment on a 
system that did.  It's my guess for now, I reserve the right to change 
it :).

        Many times when we need to cross compile something (especially if it 
uses autoconf) we have to "rig" autoconf checks with predefined 
variables that appear as cached results from a previous ./configure run. 
  This is probably happening because no one has looked up what we need 
to "rig" to disable GNUTLS checks (AstLinux does not have GNUTLS).

        This is what I recommend doing until I can get a more permanent fix 
made:

1) disable msmtp.  This is easiest.  Just run "make menuconfig" and 
de-select msmtp.  You won't have voicemail to e-mail, but everything 
else will work just fine.

2) Uninstall GNUTLS from your host system.  I don't recommend this, it 
is an ugly hack and you should not have to make changes to your host to 
get things for AstLinux to compile correctly.

3) Use vmware and isolate the two.  Another ugly hack, but it will work. 
  Install VmWare and put the AstLinux dev environment in a guest Linux 
OS that does not have GNUTLS installed.

        Thanks for finding this, I don't think we would have caught it 
otherwise! :)
