Error compiling gcc on ppc

Question

I'm trying to install the ps3toolchain from http://ps2dev.org/ps3/Tools/Toolchain/p … 26.tar.bz2 so I can compile programs specifically for ppu/spu, but I keep having problems. I noticed that in the i686 PKGCONFIG for gcc that it required the de_DE locale, so I regenerated my locales with that and began compiling. binutils compiled just fine, but a good ways into compiling gcc I get the following error:

I had to copy /usr/include/gnu/stubs-64.h over from the ps3toolchain when I built it on my i686 Archlinux because it appears they disabled 64-bit libraries and whatnot on the ppc. Any ideas what I need to do?

Answer 1

The bootstrap compiler is GCC 3.4.3.
I tried Sun's assembler (/usr/ccs/bin/as) too and got another error (below)
I also tried bootstrapping with Sun's Studio 12 compiler but that too failed.
