Thoroughly brilliant! You are miles ahead of me.  I've had the 2.4 toolchain 
running on OSX for a while now, but am trying to migrate over to the TS7500 
which has kernel 2.6.24, libc2.7, gcc 4.3.  I got as far as finding out that 
glibc doesn't support ARM and I need glibc-port as well.

That thing about the case sensitivity is odd - to write scripts that 
deliberately deal with files of the same name except for case seems perverse.  
I had heard that Perl did something insane like that so had difficulties 
installing on OSX, although OSX comes with perl 5.8.8

As far as using Xcode to run the cross compiler, I've never sorted that out.  
Instead I use Xcode to compile natively as it's a nice development environment, 
then use a Makefile from the command line to cross compile.  Since I use 
command line ftp to copy the program to the target machine, it's no great 
burden  - I just use !make from the ftp prompt.

There are several #ifdef linux bits in my code, mainly due to differences in 
header files between darwin and Gnu.

I wonder if I can use the libc2.3.6 you used on the TS7500 or will I have to go 
up to libc2.7?

Again, well done and thanks hugely for informing this group.

Martin
