cross-build fails, target host:powerpc, build host:x86_64

[Hector Oron]

Hello,

  While trying to cross build binutils for a target host powerpc, on a
build host x86_64 it fails (for me) when configuring opcodes. When the
build host is a x86_32, it does not fail and it works correctly.

mkdir -p -- ./opcodes
Configuring in ./opcodes
configure: creating cache ./config.cache
checking build system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu
checking for x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: in
`/home/zumbi/buildcross/trunk/powerpc/binutils-2.19.91.20090923-1/builddir-powerpc-linux-gnu/opcodes':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
make[2]: *** [configure-opcodes] Error 1

Is this a binutils or autoconf bug? or maybe a bug in my toolchain?
