Building a cross-compiler for powerpc-eabi

[Timo Kerstan]

Binutils built correctly and is working. I added it to the path...

First he complained about config.cache... He told me to remove it and  
run over....
Now there's a different problem compiling gcc, newlib and gdb as a  
combined tree... The make target all seems not to be defined in the  
libc folder of newlib...
I'm not very well known to make and that configure scripts....
