??? So OK, you ARE using a cross-compiler.  I thought you said earlier
that you didn't want to.  Anyway it doesn't matter whether you're
building natively or cross; what matters is that you use an archived,
known version of your toolchain to build your target code and not
whatever version of the toolchain is delivered with your desktop du
jour.
