typical user environment, building "cross" tools from
binutils-2.13
>Description:
After configuring binutils for target powerpc-*-elf and running gnumake (in a seperate build directory), an internal compiler error is encounted while building gas.  Here's the compiler output from my FreeBSD box (similar problem on Linux):

Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
>How-To-Repeat:
download binutils-2.13 to either a FreeBSD or Redhat Linux machine (intel '86 architecture).

configure it with  --target=powerpc-*-elf --prefix=/home/nicolich/xtools --program-suffix=nxppc

run gnumake in the build directory
>Fix:
use the cross binutils made on a Sun workstation with gcc version 3.2.1.  No problems encounter on a Sun Ultra platform.
