Go to http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/projects/crosstool (there is new, 
albeit unfinished web site for the same tool - http://crosstool-ng.org/) 
- the newest version is 1.10.1 as far as I know. I went through this 
process just recently (using x86_64 system to cross-compile/build code 
for 603e and his big brother - G5) and without the help of that tool I 
would have been, simply put, dead in the water!

There is also a mailing list available (which I have no doubt you will 
find from the web site the link to which I provided above) - 
crossgcc@sourceware.org

Good luck!

Same here - I've got a lot of experience with programming (on different 
levels/platform), but building cross-compilation toolchain was something 
new to me. It is not easy (the learning curve might be a bit steep at 
times), but in the end, I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it as I 
learned a lot from it.
