It turns out that this was because I'd installed the arm-eabi compiler
over the x86_64 compiler.

Unlike the Mac versions I've been supporting over on Sourceforge, the
arm-eabi compiler contains its own gpr*, gps* versions (presumably so
that embedded developers don't need to download and install a hosted
compiler; but why wouldn't you?).

A fix that works for me is to install the cross compiler first, then
install the native compiler on top of it (I don't fancy having to use
different PATHs for the two targets, though I suppose you could put the
native compiler first and then the cross compiler, so that the cross
gpr* would never be seen).
