ppc on i586: gcc doesn't compile

[Paulo Abreu]

I'm trying to create a cross compiler with target=ppc-linux and host=i586-
linux. After building and installing binutils, I'm getting the following 
error when compiling gcc:
during the step

Configuring in ppc-linux/libiberty
...
checking whether the C compiler (/users/mklinux/egcs-build/gcc/xgcc -B/
users/mklinux/egcs-build/gcc/ -g -O2) works... no
C compiler cannot create executables

This xgcc is working, but if you give the command line 
/users/mklinux/egcs-build/gcc/xgcc -B/users/mklinux/egcs-build/gcc/ -g -O2
it stops saying no input files.

My configure command was:
../egcs-1.1.2/configure --target=ppc-linux
and my make command was
make cross

I've also tryed
../egcs-1.1.2/configure --target=ppc-linux --enable-languages="c"
but it stopped with the same error.

My sources are:

gas-990418
egcs-1.1.2
glibc-2.1.1

I know they are not the most uptodate, but unless there is some serious bug 
that prevents them to create a cross compiler, I'd like to use them: my 
Internet connection at the moment is only a 33.6k modem, which is too slow 
to download the most recent sources.

Any help?

Paulo
