effectively, i had the same problem, i didn't know at what point it had trouble, because i had only the last 20 lines or so of the output, so i supposed it was in the make install part.

I launched make install, tried compiling hello world, and it compiled.
I said ok, maybe it compiles but the resulting code is not executable, but i managed to cross compile a linux kernel, and boot from it, so it shoudl be ok.

my guess is that the make cross don't stop at the end of the first stage, and tries to make a stage2 or even a stage3 compiler, or to run some test suite with 
the just compiled cross compiler.

I will look at the Makefiles if i have some time, but i am pretty busy right now, and on my slow machine, (it took me some hours to compile the cross compiler) i don't feel like experimenting too much. 
So if you would give it a look, ....
