Hi Andrew,

Indeed, config.guess and config.sub of the gmp provided in our source package seems to not support an arm host. You could update those but risk having the same problem with other sources. I would recommend instead to do a ppa build which will use the host libraries. Our toolchain's ppa was built on ARM in the past so the main part of the toolchain (gcc, binutils, gdb and newlib) should support this and a ppa build should succeed. Such a build is requested by running build-toolchain.sh with --built_type=ppa

As to the triplet, the purpose of config.sub is to normalize it so it is normal that what you see is not the correct triplet (it's the raw one coming from the system).

Best regards.
