Hello,

In your doc, the target you use is "powerpc-eabi-elf". I think that  
something like "powerpc-linux" or "powerpc-750-linux" would be more  
accurate in the current context (the "750" thing is just a vendor name  
and doesn't influence the target).

btw, according to gcc's online docs, powerpc-eabi-elf is equal to  
"powerpc-elf" (which is _different_ from "powerpc-eabi"), because here  
too, "eabi" is just a vendor name.

I wrote too a "quick and dirty" toolchain script, and included two  
patches that fix bugs prevent compiling gcc 3.3.2 and glibc 2.3.2 for  
powerpc (Yes, glibc is not the best choice on an embedded system with  
limited RAM. Note that you need a GC patched kernel too, or else there  
will be a problem with glibc and entrypoints).
