-mrelocatable problem building simple cross-compiler

[Thierry Moreau <Thierry dot Moreau at Connotech dot com>]

I’m trying to build a simple cross-compiler: host i586-pc-linux-gnu,
target powerpc-eabi (can something else be more plain vanilla?).

I’ve got binutils-2.11.2, gcc-3.1, and newlib-1.10.0.

I followed the http://crossgcc.billgatliff.com/crossgccfaq/t1.html
procedure.

At the step make all-gcc install-gcc, the compilation of libgcc2.c
(first use of xgcc on a non-trivial source code, I guess), I get this
message from the assembler:

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

I'm not so familiar with the linux shell, the gcc configure process,
makefile intricacies, or the overall structure of source file
directories, but I'm confident that I followed the instructions properly
(I tried variations). I tried to make sure the assembler called by the
xgcc executable is the proper one, and I guess it is.

Any suggestion?
