Problem building GCC on iBook with Linux

[Paul J Roebber]

I am attempting to build GCC 2.95 on an iBook running linux. The
configure step appears to complete successfully. However, the "build"
step fails (after some time) with the following:

**************************************************
/usr/bin/ld : unrecognized emulation mode: elf32ppclinux
Supported emulations: elf32ppc

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [cccp] Error 1
make[2]: leaving directory `/usr/objGCC/gcc'
make[1]: *** [bootstrap] Error 2
make[1]: leaving directory `/usr/objGCC/gcc'
****************************************************

Note that "objGCC" is the directory where I am building GCC. I am pretty
ignorant about most of this, so it may well be that there is a simple
fix. I note on the web page under build status that
powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu (my configuration) is listed as "successful."
Can anyone help?
