Your problems probably stem from this. You're using a libgcc built for
hard-fp (I don't imagine your processor supports that, so this is
wrong to begin with), but (correctly) compiling icecast for soft-fp.

You're using a positively _antique_ version of gcc, so the first step
is to upgrade to something from this century :-)

You may well need upgraded binutils too. 

I'm not sure why the dwarf errors are happening. Most likely, they'll
go away with up-to-date gcc and binutils.
