Building toolchain with crosstool-ng on Mac OS X SL

Question

Hi

I am trying to build toolchain for Linux on Mac.

I configure ct-ng as specified in docs/MacOS-X.txt(except that i use GNU soft from MacPorts and my partition is already case-sensitive). However when I try to build i get a lot of errors in shell files that looks like:

[ERROR]        called from '/Users/xxx/tmp/crosstool-ng-1.5.2/scripts/functions' at line # 250 in function 'CT_OnError'
[ERROR]        called from '/Users/xxx/tmp/crosstool-ng-1.5.2/scripts/functions' at line # 116 in function 'CT_DoExecLog'
[ERROR]        called from '/Users/xxx/tmp/crosstool-ng-1.5.2/scripts/functions' at line # 254 in function 'CT_DoForceRmdir'
[ERROR]        called from '/Users/xxx/tmp/crosstool-ng-1.5.2/scripts/crosstool-NG.sh' at line # 201 in function 'main'
[ERROR]  Look at '/opt/ct-ng/i386-unknown-linux-gnu/build.log' for more info on this error.

Considering that I get a lot of this same errors on different ct-ng shell scripts I think i missed something obvious. But I double checked configuration and cant determine cause of this problems.
