i386-unknown-linux -> powerpc-unknown-linux

["David N. Welton" <davidw at linuxcare dot com>]

Configured binutils:

/configure --target=powerpc-unknown-linux --prefix=/home/davidw/crossgcc --with-libs=/home/davidw/crossgcc/usr/lib/ --with-includes=/home/davidw/crossgcc/usr/include/

made and installed without problems.

Configured gcc, without problems, from a 'build' subdirectory.

../configure --target=powerpc-unknown-linux --prefix=/home/davidw/crossgcc --with-libs=/home/davidw/crossgcc/usr/lib/ --with-includes=/home/davidw/crossgcc/usr/include/

this is using the latest out of CVS.

Ran make all LANGUAGES="c c++", and it does ok for a while, and then
dies with:

Is devoid of any Makefile...

I really don't have any hope of figuring out exactly where in the
morass of gnarled, twisty, convoluted configuration and build scripts
there lies some problem that I have overlooked, which causes the build
to fail.

I would also like to mention that the docs available are not really
reflective of what needs to be done, in actuality.  For instance,
headers and some libs from glibc seem to be necessary (--with-libs and
--with-includes), if the information I have received is correct.

Thankyou for your time,
