Building GCC crosscompiler for powerpc platform !!

["Manish Shah" <manish at juniper dot net>]

I am trying to build the GCC toolchain using the GCC-3.4.0, binutils-2.15 and the latest version of newlib, I am facing the following build error, which makes me think that probably my configuration is incorrect.
