   It works for me with a combined tree. Here's exactly how I did:

$ cd ~/src
$ wget http://ftp.download-by.net/gnu/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.17.tar.bz2 -O - | tar -jxf -
$ wget http://ftp.download-by.net/gnu/gnu/gcc/gcc-4.1.2/gcc-core-4.1.2.tar.bz2 -O - | tar -jxf -
$ wget http://ftp.download-by.net/gnu/gnu/gcc/gcc-4.1.2/gcc-g++-4.1.2.tar.bz2 -O - | tar -jxf -
$ wget http://ftp.download-by.net/gnu/gnu/gcc/gcc-4.1.2/gcc-objc-4.1.2.tar.bz2 -O - | tar -jxf -
$ wget ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/newlib/newlib-1.15.0.tar.gz -O - | tar -zxf -
$ mkdir combined
$ cd combined
$ ln -s ../gcc-4.1.2/* .
$ ln -s ../binutils-2.17/* .
[several complaints from ln about existing links]
$ ln -s ../newlib-1.15.0/* .
[several complaints from ln about existing links]
$ cd ../..
$ mkdir testbuild
$ cd testbuild
$ ../src/combined/configure --target=powerpc-eabi --disable-nls --with-newlib --prefix=/usr/local/gcc
$ time nice make
