Why don't you just use existing, working tools?  Our  Embedded
Linux
Development  Kit  is  free for download, just us it. It also
includes
instructions how to rebuild  from  prstine  source  files  if
you're
really in the mood to do so. See http://www.denx.de/ELDK/

usr/src/gcc/gcc-2.96-20000731/configure --target=ppc-linux
You're heading for trouble anyway.  GCC  2.96  was  never
officially
released.  It  is a known fact that it cannot be used for
instance to
compile a Linux kernel. Even if you manage to build it, you will
not
have much fun using it.

Real programmers don't comment their code. It was hard to  write,
it
should be hard to understand.
