Glibc 2.1.1 (from one of the linuxppc mirror sites, source/base/..)
Compiler: egcs-2.91.57 (thats what configure says)
configure --prefix=./tools/glibc --exec-prefix=./tools/glibc
--with-headers=**Dir of the cross-compiled Kernel and its headers**
--enable-add-ons --build=i686-*-linux --host=powerpc-*-linux-gnu
CC='powerpc-eabi-gcc -b powerpc-eabi' 
CFLAGS='-mcpu=603e -meabi'
Addons are just crypt und linuxthreads.

Still more has happend since yesterday. I removed everything, unpacked
the glibc again and started building. This time it went a bit further
and reportet:

/project/v4/software/ext-tools/egcs-1.1b-newlib/bin/powerpc-eabi-gcc -b
powerpc-eabi   -shared -Wl,-O1 -o libdb1.so 
-Wl,-dynamic-linker=./compile/lib/ld.so.1 -B../csu/
-Wl,--version-script=../libdb1.map -Wl,-soname=libdb1.so.2 
-Wl,-soname=libdb.so.2 -L.. -L../math -L../elf -L../nss -L../nis
-L../db2 -L../rt -L../resolv -L../linuxthreads
-Wl,-rpath-link=..:../math:../elf:../nss:../nis:../db2:../rt:../resolv:../linuxthreads
-Wl,--whole-archive libdb1_pic.a ../elf/interp.os ../libc.so
-Wl,--no-whole-archive
collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault]
powerpc-eabi-gcc: file path prefix `../csu/' never used
make[1]: *** [libdb1.so] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/v4lx/work/linux_pkg/glibc/glibc2/db'
make: *** [db/others] Error 2 

I suppose I messed something up at the first try( I'am new to powerpc
cross compiling and not what you'd call an experienced linux user). I
hope you have got enough information for helping me a little bit. Thanks
in advance.
