Building gcc for ppc-603

[Danny Budik <dbudik at ist-traffic dot com>]

Hello All,

I have a question regarding a slightly complicated cross-compile.

I'm trying to cross-compile gcc (c,c++) for ppc-603 from my i686 host. 
With crosstool almost everything works. The tricky thing about my 
target, is that the libstdc++ libraries on that machine are the ones 
from gcc-3.2.3 (libstdc++.so.5.0.3.) I can build gcc-3.2.3 for ppc with 
crosstool but my code won't compile with such an old gcc ver.  I've 
tried building both gcc-4.1.0 and gcc-3.2.3 and then copying the header 
files and c++ libraries from the old to the new but then when I build my 
code, it doesn't link.

So in the end, my question is, is there a way to build a late version of 
gcc and compile in an old version of the c++ libraries?

Regards,
Danny
