I chose this toolchain for the more commonly used 4.4.0 of gcc when compiling as most arm linux products use it you can change for your liking, I don't know if it will work with substitutions so please don't ask. I ran the ./configure command hundreds of times before I got a succssful build. Therefore I am sharing what worked maybe it will help you.
