But your problem is very simple: you're buiding for "powerpc-linux-gun". You cannot build for one OS on another OS. It doesn't (usually) work. Are you targeting powerpc-linux??? If so, build it on your powerpc-linux box. If you are building for generic powerpc-eabi or something, then use "powerpc-eabi" as a target. Keith
