This works just fine. Here's how I build toolchains myself:
% mkdir arm_tools
% cd arm_tools
% SRC/configure --target=arm-elf --prefix=/opt/ecos_tools
% make;make install
% cd ..
% mkdir ppc_tools
% cd ppc_tools
% SRC/configure --target=powerpc-eabi --prefix=/opt/ecos_tools
% make;make install
You'll end up with a directory "/opt/ecos_tools/bin" which is
populated with arm-elf-XXX as well as powerpc-eabi-XXX tools.
