Failed to build an ARM cross compiler with crosstool-ng

I'm doing a lab from Free Electron to building a cross-compilation toolchain But when I run the build command it fails shortly after downloading things...

My stuff : xubuntu 14.04.3 | crosstool-ng-1.19.0

When I run ./ct-ng build

SOLUTION : The problem was my version of mpfr... So to fixe that I config with ./-ct-ng menuconfig , and I tell him to rebuild this module. It's was in the section Companion libraries.

It looks like an incompatibility between version of mpfr used by crosstool-ng and your version of autoconf. I suggest to try a newer version of crosstool-ng (version 1.19 was released in 2013).

If you really need crosstool-ng 1.19, you can try to compile autoconf version from "Companion tools" (EXPERIMENTAL has to be set).

You can also try to install an another version of autoconf. I believe that Ubuntu 14.04 provides autoconf 2.13, 2.59 and 2.68. You can try them.
