Look in the embedded-gcc FAQ on how to do a one-tree build of gcc, binutils
and newlib - using target powerpc-eabi, this works fine out of the box and
is the easiest way, even if you do not actually need newlib.

I am not sure if the linker can directly create s-records (but I think so) -
I usually let the linker generate an ELF file (with debug info), and then
use objcopy to convert that to S-records.
