yes, this helped. Still I see a failure in cofigure before stage3 starts: checking for powerpc-suse-linux-gcc... /home/victork/mainline/build.trunk.127373/./prev-gcc/xgcc -B/home/victork/mainline/build.trunk.127373/./prev-gcc/ -B/home/victork/mainline/usr.trunk.127373/powerpc-suse-linux/bin/ checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs. If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'. See `config.log' for more details. Seemingly, the compiler created by stage 2 is unusable. I'm not sure if it was originally a good idea to try to bootstrap ppc32 compiler on ppc64 machine. Do you think it is feasible? What should be configuration and bootstrap make flags? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32582
