question crosstool-0.28-rc36 for PPC 860

>Not generally.

I am slightly confused now.
In my case the "host" and "target" machine is the same - let say it is PPC 860 (though it is really PQ2FADS-VR board with MPC 8275 - not sure but do hope they are compatible enough) - so if I tar the: 

/opt/crosstool/powerpc-860-linux-gnu/gcc-3.4.1-glibc-2.3.2/powerpc-860-linux-gnu

directory, produced by crosstool in my Intel/Windows XP cygwin

and ftp it to the root file system, mounted by my board during its booting, - should I not expect to be able to run this compiler, which will produce executables runnable on this very board itself ?

Thanks,
Alex

Not generally.  However, it's fairly easy to do a
canadian cross build that will.  See
