Yep.  Got those in /usr/bin.

Yep.  Got links to those in /usr/bin i.e.  powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-as, 
etc.

I compile the binutils (--prefix=/usr) and host GCC
(--prefix=/usr/egcs-1.1.1)  with links to the various programs in
/usr/bin, /lib and /usr/lib.  I do this to keep compiler versions separate
and easily removable if needed.

This link  I didn't make.

OK.

I'm aware of that command, but didn't use it.  I've successfully made a
cross compiler on my PC some time ago so I thought I  new what I was
doing.  Sorry.

OK.   I will look again.  Thanks.
