} I'm trying to build a cross-compiler for a PowerPC VME card e.g. MVME1600.

}
} So I started with binutils using:
}
} ../binutils-2.7/configure --host=sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3
} --target=powerpc-wrs-vxworks

Instead of the above, use powerpc-unknown-eabi. I just tried building
binutils-2.7 with the following configure line and it worked just fine:

% mkdir powerpc-unknown-eabi
% cd powerpc-unknown-eabi
% ../configure --target=powerpc-unknown-eabi --prefix=/usr/vx5.2/sun4-solaris2
--local-prefix=/usr/vx5.2/sun4-solaris2 --program-suffix=ppc

The EABI is used by several os's, including VxWorks.
