mipsel-linux-ld:arch/mips/kernel/vmlinux.lds:*: parse error

["Daniel Laird" <danieljlaird@hotmail.com>]

I am trying to build a linux kernel and gcc etc.

I have tried the following combo
gcc-3.4.3
glibc-2.3.4
binutils-2.15.96
linux-2.6.11.6

I egt everything built and then see the following error

mipsel-linux-ld:arch/mips/kernel/vmlinux.lds:6: parse error

I can see that people have told someone else to edit the file vmlinux.lds 
manually
http://www.linux-mips.org/archives/linux-mips/2005-01/msg00059.html

and try again but in a complete build environment so does anyone know what 
causes the bug in the first place
Please help
Dan
