I've a similar problem that does not seem to be related to any missing
tool/compiler/parser in Ubuntu 8.10. Though the Ubuntu 8.10 default
gcc is 4.3.2, but I have 'apt-get install gcc-4.2'
$ TARGET_ARCH=x86 TARGET_PRODUCT=eee_701 DISABLE_DEXPREOPT=true
CC=gcc-4.2 CXX=g++-4.2 make -j2 installer_img
