Cross-compile package combinations

[Silverton Aron-C1710C]

Continuing this top-posting madness:

I am trying to build gcc 3.2.3 for powerpc-linux on i386.  I have binutils
2.14 built already.  I have not done anything with glibc as of yet.  Here is
where I die:

[lots of stuff omitted]
mkdir libgcc
mkdir nof
mkdir libgcc/nof
if [ -f stmp-dirs ]; then true; else touch stmp-dirs; fi

I issued the commands:

$ ../gcc-3.2.3/configure --target=$TARGET --prefix=${PREFIX}
--without-headers --with-newlib --enable-langauges=c

$ make all-gcc

I am not using crosstools.  I may trie it if I can figure out how to specify
the paths to put everything where I want it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Aron
