difficulty building a cross-compiler with a fresh install

[Wyatt Neal]

the cross compiler i'm looking to build is one to produce  i386
compatable system v elf executables for freebsd.  the default gcc
installed with freebsd 6.1 produces i386 compatible freebsd elf
executables, not system v.

i've also found that i'm apparently building gcc improperly and with
the wrong version of binutils; however, changing the binutils to the
correct version hasn't helped and i'm still waiting on gcc's build to
get to/past the point where it's been crashing out.
