You should choose "SA1100-based" as ARM System type and tick the right iPAQ
type you have in "SA11x0 Implementations". This worked for me.

I gotta remind you that I have done the same (native GCC 2.95.3 on iPAQ) but
since I only have an iPAQ with 32MB, I every now and then get a OOM
(Out-Of-Memory) error if I turn optimization up too high.
