Help - cross-compiler for powerpc-linux

[Gentry, Jeff]

I posted this once before but I have suffered a major failure with my mail
system.

I am a newbie to gnu, linux, and powerpc.
I need to generate a cross-toolchain for host=i686-linux and
target=powerpc-linux.

I have Debian GNU/Linux 'potato' cds for:
i386-binaries
powerpc-binaries
all-sources

I do not have any access to a powerpc machine. My code will be for an
embedded system running Linux.

Can I get the required target libraries and header files to build
powerpc-linux-gcc from these cds?
If so can someone give me some details?
If not can someone offer an alterative? - maybe even a system to ftp files
from?

Thanks for any help you can give
