Cross compiling gcc for powerpc-eabi on i686-pc-cygwin32 host

[Stephen Smith]

I am trying to cross compile gcc for a powerpc target and since I need
elf  format I choose eabi.

I have the following source tarballs as per
http://www.objsw.com/CrossGCC/FAQ-2.html .

    binutils-2.9.1.tar.gz
    gcc-2.95.2.tar.gz
    gdb-4.17.tar.gz
    newlib-1.8.2.tar.gz

I am using the method listed in
http://www.objsw.com/CrossGCC/FAQ-4.html#ss4.5

I am getting the following error:

   make[1]: Entering directory
`/work/HTC/GNUSource/cross-compile/b-powerpc-eabi/bfd'
   make all-recursive
   make[2]: Entering directory

   rm -f bfd-tmp.h
   touch stmp-bfd-h
   make[1]: *** No rule to make target

   make[1]: Leaving directory
`/work/HTC/GNUSource/cross-compile/b-powerpc-eabi/bfd'
   make: *** [all-bfd] Error 2

Should I switch to a linux box and do a cannadian cross.


Thanks for your help.
