[Bug libstdc++/16710] New: Fails to build the target libstdc++-v3 library

["remedy at programmit dot co dot uk" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

The binutils package version 2.15 built for the same target is already installed
at /usr/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu
Also, there is the target glibc (taken from a different distro for the powerpc
platform)
Within the gcc source tree create a directory objdir
then cd objdir
../configure --prefix=/usr/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu
--target=powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --enable-altivec
--enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-shared --enable-languages=c,c++
--with-sysroot=/usr/powerpc-whatever-linux-gnu 
Then issue "gmake"

It compiles the c compiler and the libgcc library, but it fails to compile the
target library libstdc++-v3 and stops there with the message
Checking for main in -lm... error: Link tests are not allowed after
GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES

The same behaviour occurs with any gcc starting from the version 3.3.3 through
the latest snapshot available
