In fact those versions are even using Cygnus configure, so using them in a combined tree is a mess. There is no real solution. A combined tree is ok for 4.2, with the latest binutils maybe 4.1 too. But it fails with older GCCs. Backporting --with-build-time-tools to 4.1 would be a good idea, and then you can just always configure with --with-build-time-tools=$HOME/local/powerpc-ibm-eabi/bin (which would do no harm for 4.2, which is where --with-build-time-tools works). But it cannot be done, for sure, for 3.x. You can just stop using --program-prefix for the binutils. Then you'll have executables named powerpc-ibm-eabi-foo, which will work for GCC, and then rename them to xfoo at the end of compilation (you can rename because GCC will anyway use the executables in $HOME/local/powerpc-ibm-eabi/bin). -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28770
