Building for PowerPC 405

[Bob <hey dot its dot a dot g1 at gmail dot com>]

Hello,

I am pretty new to cross compiling and am trying to continue the work
of someone that left the company.  He suggested using ct-ng in order
to get a newer c compiler since a package I want to use will not
compile.  I downloaded crosstool-ng-1.9.3 to a virtual machine running
CentOS5.  The build I want is in the list of samples:
PowerPC-405-linux-gnu.  I had to run "ct-ng menuconfig" to turn off
Java and bump the version of mpfr to 3.0.0 to get past a few errors.
After doing that the build ran for a while and then failed here:

I checked the log file and the last few lines are:

It appears that it cannot find libgcc. Earlier in the log file it
shows that libgcc.a was removed, built, and then installed so it seems
like it should be there.  Does anyone know how to get around this?
