Andrew explained this to you at least twice.... if the build tree is
for a cross debugger, you CAN NOT build gdbserver in it.

Use current CVS instead.  I've spent months fixing this.

In fact, if you get current CVS, you can:
mkdir obj
cd obj
../src/gdb/gdbserver/configure
make

And build only the server.
