Failure while building powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu

[venetis at mail dot capsl dot udel dot edu]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to build a cross-chain for powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu with
the versions of the tools for this architecture as described here:

http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/projects/crosstool

(kernel 2.6.31.13, binutils 2.19.1, gcc 4.3.2, glibc 2.9)

I tried with crosstool-ng 1.7.0, 1.7.1 and from the current trunk. The
build of the cross-chain always stops at the same point when "Installing C
library". The build log says:

The weird thing is that with the exact same configuration the 32-bit
cross-chain build without a problem (powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu).

The machine where I am trying to build the cross-chain runs the x86-64
version of Fedora 13.

Any hint what might be going wrong?
