Subject: Re: Anyone with experience in Cross-Compiling, especially to an embedded powerPC?

Mike,
It's been a long time since I had to build a cross compiler. What a bear
that task is! I fought and researched and learned a lot about it. Still
what ultimately helped me accomplish it was the work that was started by
Dan Kegel on a tool called crosstool.

http://kegel.com/crosstool/

That tool didn't have exactly the support for what I needed at the time but
I found it cleanly designed and easily updatable to accomplish what I was
targeting (Which was ppc from x86).

Building a toolchain takes many hours of compiling and lots of frustrations
when some error during the process... Im not sure if crosstool has been
updated in a long time but it might be worth looking at least as some
instructions in script form.

Good luck!
