trouble building cross gcc

[Robert Trask]

Hello,
I am trying to build a mips big-endian cross compiler hosted on a Linux 
pc (Intel). I do the usual steps:
# prefix is same given to binutils, previously built and installed
mkdir build
../configure --target=mipsbe-linux-gnu 
--prefix=/projects/san_engineering/santools/mipsbe
make

The build terminates with an error partway through:

The complaint is correct: there is no crti.o available. This file would 
be built as part of the glibcwhich I had planned to build next. I am 
doing things in this order:
binutils
gcc
glibc

I thought I would need the cross gcc to build the glibc.
OR:
do I need a crti.o in native obj format? I am confused. Any guidance you 
could provide would be greatly appreciated.
