I wrote those directions and posted them a while back in response to someone 
asking about how to make an OS X toolchain. Unfortunately the original post's 
title didn't mention OS X so it's not surprising that nobody saw it. Glad to 
see that you guys are able to use them.

Crosstool-ng is doing the check for case sensitivity. I also had to do the same 
thing when I built a different toolchain with plain old crosstool (which didn't 
warn me about it) because something didn't work right. If I remember correctly, 
it had to do with some of the kernel headers. I believe a few of the kernel 
headers are named something like blah_BLAH.h with another file in the same 
directory called blah_blah.h. It screws up something when one of those related 
.h files gets included. I want to say it had to do with iptables, but I can't 
remember.

Anyway, that's how I got around it, by making that disk image. You also have to 
do the same thing if you compile a kernel on the toolchain (which, by the way, 
works great except you need to patch one area to make menuconfig detect ncurses 
correctly)
