Greetings all - I'm trying to build a powerpc-linux cross compiler on a stock Redhat 7.2 x86 system.
I've followed all of the steps in the "Cross Development mini-howto for PPC Linux " at http://penguinppc.org/embedded/cross-compiling/ to the letter, but the build fails on the "Rebuilding gcc to use glibc" step in the mini-howto with the following error: . . .
