  There is an error in the configuration files for the PowerPC. I never
really investigated this, but could build the cross compiler with the
following recipe:

1. The build process stops during libiberty. But during the
binutils-build a functioning libiberty was already built. So copy the
the libiberty directory from binutils to the gcc directory. But keep the
files choose-temp.c and mkstemps.c and rebuild libiberty.a from hand (ar
rc libiberty.a argv.o ...)

2. again make cross

3. make will configure newly the directory powerpc-wrs-vxworks and tries
to build target specific tool which are not needed. While make is again
configuring delete the directory powerpc-wrs-vxworks and make should
finish building gcc.

4. make install

 This looks awkward but it worked for me. I never found the time to find
a fix for the configuration. Maybe s.o. else?

 Btw. I can provide an RPM for RH 6.2 (7.) systems based on gcc 2.8.1
and binutils 2.9.1 for PowerPC and the 68k architectures.

  Cheers, Markus
