Getting started on a MPC555

[Eddy's user]

Hi, 

I want to use newlib with gcc on a MPC555. I have already configured
gcc, linked and tested applications without a libc and everything works
fine. 

As far as I understand for using newlib I now need to take following
steps (please correct me if I am wrong or missing something): 

1. cd newlib-1.11.0; ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/crossgcc
--host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --target=powerpc-eabi
2. make
3. Link my application with newlib

Then I should be able to use functions sprintf(), strcpy(), memcmp()
which don't do IO.

IO functions contain unresolved symbols to open(),read(),write(), etc.
but since I do not need them the linker will not complain and not
include them in the binary. In order to use them later I would have to
write my own libgloss. Am I correct? 

I have my own startup code that initializes the Controller and calls
main(). Is it OK if it's not call crt0.o? (Is crt0 a special filename or
something?) 

Do I need to call any routines that initialize the library in my startup
code? 

Now here's the actual problem I am having right now: 
When I type make in newlib-1.11.0 I get following error message:

Can you give me a hint what I doing wrong?
