x86(host) --> ppc(tgt) cross-tool-chain

[Lokesh Kumar]

I built the toolchain on x86 host for PPC, and I used

GCC-2.95.3
GLIBC-2.2.3
Binutils-2.11.92

I did not use Karim's book. I went with "Embedded Linux Interfacing ...."
book.

BTW, there's an ongoing thread about exactly this problem
on the embeddedTUX.org mailing list:
http://www.embeddedtux.org/pipermail/etux/2003-June/thread.html

Apparently you're not alone ...

there successfully built an x86(host) --> ppc(tgt) tool chain using the

2.2.1).
