[U-Boot-Users] ELDK 2.1.0 Install

I've just setup a new P4 2600 system at work for my workstation. I have also just done a complete install of "Fedora" on it. Tons of good stuff (and I'm one who likes a leaner faster install) but this becomes productive very quickly!
Now the problem: Installing ELDK 2.1.0 and I get no error message but nothing is installed except the initial "bin, usr and a very bare var" in the install directory (/opt/eldk). NOTE that this is for ARM processors.
Now my thing is porting u-boot and the kernel to our target boards, I've done that for an MPC860 board, an MPC866 board and now this attempt is for an arm-based board (PXA255 to be precise). I got our resident guru and had him take a look at what was happening and with a couple of installs using strace with a couple of parameters to generate an output file and I'm not sure what else he came to the conclusion that the rpm in the install was giving us grief. After numerous attempts using the rpm on the host machine he got some stuff in place but this is NOT the way to get it all installed in any reasonable time frame.
So, has anyone done an install of ELDK 2.1.0 on a Fedora host? I will need to install ELDK for PPC targets as well and the problem MAY be the same there, but for now the ARM version is very broken (in the rpm tool specifically).
I'd appreciate any input!

This is known problem. See the FAQ at http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/DULG/ELDKInstallationAborts
Note that the description is for PowerPC; for ARM you will need to tweak the package lists.

Blame it on the glibc guys who cannot provide a library that is either backward compatible or capable of building a real statically linked image.
For PowerPC you can use ELDK Release 3.0 which should show up on the FTP server in a day or two from now.
