Since you are building the tools yourself, just build the latest source 
for the version of RTEMS you are using.  If it is the CVS head, then
just grab the sources used to compile the latest RPMs.

We stopped building Solaris and Cygwin tool for snapshot toolsets.
It just adds too much to the build time.  I suppose Cygwin tools
may be provided again as we get closer to the release point.  I don't 
know about Solaris thought.

This problem is very common when building cross compilers.  You
either did not install the cross binutils first OR you did not
put it in your PATH (hopefully at the beginning).  This is even
in the getting started guide.
