cross-compiling problems (linux to ppc)

Hello,
My host is a linux x86 RedHat machine.
My Target is Linux PowerPC  machine.

Now , I had followed the instructions on :
http://penguinppc.org/embedded/cross-compiling/
the only diffference I had made was added the "--prefix=/opt/ppc"
so that it will insatll it in a different directory (because
I need also original binutil and gcc to compile for x86 linux targets).


what I did is :
downloaded latest release tars of binutils and gcc.

for binutil:
I created a toplevel build directory and from there:

./configure --target=powerpc-linux --prefix=/opt/ppc
make
make install

and it went OK.

Now , fior gcc:
I created a toplevel build directory and from there:
./configure --target=powerpc-linux --prefix=/opt/ppc --disable-shared
--disable-threads --enable-languages=c --with-newlib

I get immediately the following mesage:
../gcc-3.3.2/configure --target=powerpc-linux --prefix=/opt/ppc
--disable-shared --disable-threads --enable-languages=c --with-newlib |more
Configuring for a i686-pc-linux-gnu host.
*** This configuration is not supported in the following subdirectories:
     target-libstdc++-v3 target-libf2c target-libffi target-boehm-gc
target-zlib target-libjava zlib fastjar target-libobjc
    (Any other directories should still work fine.)

but it finishes the ./configure command.

Then , in make , I get after some time the following error messages:

if [ -f stmp-dirs ]; then true; else touch stmp-dirs; fi

Needless to say, but still , I have signal.h under /usr/include ,
/usr/include/linux, and in some other
locations

There's a patch you can apply listed on the page (read carefully). It
will only work if you only want to build kernels (i.e. no glibc, no
userspace).

The other alternative is to install *target* kernel headers (not
/usr/include) and build against those. This is just silly if you don't
want glibc, but the toolchain people are apparently too busy to care.

That's exactly what I had to do to get my cross-compiler setup working
(but I didn't think that much of it as I also used glibc, etc).
