I just tried this on an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS system using the master
branch of abe, and the build completed successfully.  Not obvious why
it didn't work for you.

I did manage to find a minor abe bug, but it didn't stop the build
from completing.

Neither mingw32 nor aarch64-elf use glibc/eglibc.  They both use
newlib.  The issue here is that you can't try linking until after you
have built gcc and installed its startfiles and libraries.  However,
gcc needs to do target feature tests as part of its configuration.
The solution is that in the gcc configure scripts we try to avoid
feature tests that require linking for cross compilers, and if we
can't avoid it, then we hard code in the correct answer for known
libraries like newlib and glibc.

Anyways, it isn't obvious from the error what is wrong.  You need to
look at the config.log file in the directory that failed to configure.
This will contain info about the configure tests that were run in this
dir, and the last one will be the one that failed.  You then need to
look at this test to see why it failed.  In this case, the real error
may be earlier, where GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES was set.

If this was the host (i686-w64-mingw32) libiberty that failed, then
maybe there is a problem with your i686-w64-mingw32-gcc binary.  Can
you build a hello world program with it?
