Thanks Ian,
I applied the first patch for now. As you said the problem is gone, but  
now I hit another problem:
Compilation now fails with
--------------------------------------------------
make[3]: Leaving directory  
`/var/abs/local/cross-arm-elf-gdc2-hg/src/gcc-build/arm-elf/thumb/libgcc'
make[2]: Leaving directory  
`/var/abs/local/cross-arm-elf-gdc2-hg/src/gcc-build/arm-elf/libgcc'
make[1]: Leaving directory  
`/var/abs/local/cross-arm-elf-gdc2-hg/src/gcc-build/arm-elf/libgcc'
/bin/sh: line 3: cd: arm-elf/libphobos: No such file or directory
make: *** [install-target-libphobos] Error 1
--------------------------------------------------
The arm-elf directory exists, but it only contains a libgcc and thumb  
folder.
I think the phobos sources are not copied correctly when crosscompiling.

In case you're interested: You can get cheap ARM Hardware by buying the  
"seagate dockstar freeagent go". It's possible to ssh into this  
device(http://ahsoftware.de/dockstar/) and install debian on  
it(http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/). You can get those for ~30$ in the US,  
I got mine for 25€ in Germany, but Prices in Germany went up again. The  
Dockstar uses sheevaplug like hardware: 1.2ghz ARM Processor, 128Mb ram,  
256mb internal NAND.
