handhelds.org is down so no luck unfortunately...

I need a bit of help:

I've just pulled the latest OE toolchain (using the latest Makefile 1.6).
The problem I'm having is that using mipsel-oe-linux-gcc to compile my app is causing me issues as it compiles against GLIBC 2.7 but my firmware image on my dm800 has an older glibc version (2.3) I think...
I don't want to change the image on my dreambox
What can i pull that will allow a good build against this older glibc version?
Is there anywhere that one can configure the glibc version that the Makefile should build?
