Since this worked for me (sparc-solaris2.6 X powerpc-eabisim) on
December 22, my best guess is that our environments are in some way
different.  I used:

4afb3989f2270043c47c3daa1fa7ffab  bison-1.28.tar.gz
fd67a990423a0e9fa2fa1c3cf10f4356  cvs-1.11.tar.gz
bd8753d0b22e1f4ec87a553a73021adf  flex-2.5.4.tar.gz
0e36957d734286e242e9697fd2806c4f  gcc-2.95.2.tar.gz
f29d32b82217b9d89fcda66328752acc  gettext-0.10.35.tar.gz
22ea95c125c7b80e04354d4ee4ae960d  make-3.79.1.tar.gz

All the tools were bootstrapped using that GCC and that make.

I then build a powerpc-eabi GCC and gdb and dejagnu and newlib from
CVS as at 2000-12-22T04:20:02Z.  On that date, the resulting GCC had a
few test failures due to miscompiling parts of newlib, but it all
built OK.

I suspect your make is broken, or your GCC is miscompiling make.
