Failure when trying to cross-compile Erlang R13B04 for ARM

I am trying to cross-compile Erlang and running into a weird bug. The commands used are

make clean

./otp_build configure --host=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu 
--prefix=/opt/erlang erl_xcomp_sysroot=~/sbctools/arm-2007q3 --disable-hipe 
--disable-threads --disable-smp --disable-megaco-flex-scanner-lineno 
--disable-megaco-reentrant-flex-scanner --disable-dynamic-ssl-lib 
--without-termcap --without-javac --without-ssl

./otp_build boot

Their output can be seen at http://gist.github.com/576199 (it's too big to paste here), but th开发者_JAVA百科e error which ends the process is

Indeed, viewing ~/otp_src/erts/emulator/zlib/obj/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/opt/libz.a shows it's compiled for Intel 30386. But why? And how can I avoid it?

EDIT: ~/sbctools/arm-2007q3/bin is the first directory in the PATH. Do I perhaps need to add other toolchain directories as well?

Looks like you've built zlib part before... when it was not correctly configured. Try make clean or make distclean and then recompile.
