3.0.2 cross compiler 686->ppc-linux

["Rob Taylor" <robt at flyingpig dot com>]

I'm having a bit of a headache producing a  i686-pc-linux-gnu to ppc-linux cross
compiler with 3.0.2. here, I've followed the (meagre) instructions in the new
info docs.

contents of /usr/local/ppc-linux/lib:

HOLLY:/tmp/scratch# ls -l /usr/local/ppc-linux/lib/

make cross bails at the first cross link, like so:

If anyone can point out what i'm doing wrong, i'd be very happy :)
(BTW, i'd also love to be able to build a cross compiler with a different
--prefix, but this causes even more problems, with the wrong 'as' getting called
being the 1st error)

Thanks to anyone that can help,
