problem building crosscompiler target=i486 host,build=ppc

[winmute]

NOTE: please send reply also to winmute <winmute-mailinglist-egcs-bugs@kotnet.org> !

host spotlight=ppc-chrp, host lucifer=i486
egcs-1.0.3? did build fine on spotlight(ppc) with target lucifer(i486)
egcs-1.1b does have problems

Step 1: clean source tree egcs-1.1b
Step 2:
[root@Spotlight egcs-1.1b]# ./configure --program-prefix=i486- --target=i486-pc-linux-gnu --with-headers=/mnt/lucifer/usr/include
Configuring for a powerpc-unknown-linux-gnulibc1 host.
Created "Makefile" in /usr/src/egcs-1.1b using "mt-frag"
Links are now set up to build a cross-compiler for i486-pc-linux-gnu
  from powerpc-unknown-linux-gnulibc1.
Step 3:
[root@Spotlight egcs-1.1b]# make cross

after a lot of compiling I get an error :(
