binutils doesn't fully support --target=ppc-linux

[Dan Kegel]

Recent binutils will build fine with --target=ppc-linux,
but if you try to 'make check', it barfs with

ERROR: Target name ppc-linux is not a triple.

OK, fine, I'll insert fields to turn it into a triple.
target=ppc-405-linux-gnu works fine in general,
and 'make check' gets past that problem, but then dies with

ERROR: tcl error sourcing tool-and-target-specific interface file
/crosstool-0.11/build/ppc-405-linux-gnu/gcc-3.3-glibc-2.2.5/binutils-2.13.90.0.18/ld/testsuite/config/default.exp.
Error getting emulation name:
*** ld does not support target ppc-405-linux-gnu
*** see ld/configure.tgt for supported targets

binutils-2.13.90.0.18/ld/configure.tgt lists lots of targets,
including powerpc-*, but doesn't mention ppc-* at all.

So... I guess I should use target=powerpc-blah-linux-gnu instead of target=ppc-blah-linux-gnu?
Or should I patch binutils to recognize the shorter ppc name?
Anyone run into this before?

Thanks,
Dan
