i486 cross-tool chain is broken.

There appear to be several needed files missing after make i486, my notes follow:

trying to setup cross-tools from ttylinux-src-9.0 distro
using linux mint 8, based on ubuntu 9.10
had to install g++ to continue
got error in make setup that legendre encountered.
fixed all scripts in _scripts with sed -iold s:bin/sh -eu:bin/bash: *
was able then to make setup, make dload, make i486.
make i486 did not print "done." at the end of the last step:
Building glibc-2.9 Stage 2 ........
was followed by a prompt.
testing as root did not work:

sure enough, the test results predict failure:
