No, you shouldn't need to install gcc as your native compiler. However, you
need to make two passes at building your powerpc-linux-gcc cross. Before
building libc, configure it with:
    configure --with-languages=c --with-newlib

The '--with-newlib' should stop it complaining about libc missing, but the
libiberty build will still fail because of the missing headers. Nevertheless,
you can 'make install' and move on to configure/build glibc. After installing
glibc, go back and reconfigure & rebuild gcc (and g++ if you want it) without
the '--with-newlib' option.

Good luck!
