Thanks Ian. Just to clarify once again to make sure:

If I compile gcc (using 
"--prefix=${HOME}/gcc-test/install/install-ppc/usr") and later on 
install it in "${HOME}/gcc-test/install/install-ppc", then do the same 
with the associated libraries gcc uses (glibc, mpfr etc) and then 
"chroot ${HOME}/gcc-test/install/install-ppc" and try to run gcc as 
normal (i.e. compile the packages I want to install on that "root") 
would that work even though I compiled and installed gcc with a 
different prefix?
