cross compile software package

[hyding]

hi,all
    I have built the cross-compile tools chain for ppc 405,
gcc-3.3.1-binutils-2.14-glibc-2.3.2.Now i want to use it to compile some
software packages making up of a root fs. I compiled findutils-4.1.20
successfully, but failed to compile other packages such as coreutils,
vim,etc.
    Could someone give me some hints about where to download the
packages that are able to be cross-compiled. Which version of the
cross-compile tools is better?
Thanks!
