[Clfs-support] Binutils -2.20.1 and Powerpc

[Peter Welles]

Hello to Everyone,

Using the cliche of "killing two birds with one stone", I would like to do the 
following:
1. Learn a little more about how Linux works
2. Put a linux system on a G-4 ibook. (an Apple Product)

I came across the version SVN-20100828-PowerPC, and it seemed to be a good
project to accomplish my above goals.

I have a compilation problem in chapter 6.9, where the library for the binary 
file descriptor
yelled "ouch" at not finding little endian. I went through some of the archives, 
and the solved
problems did not closely match the one I have. I could have missed it, so I 
would appreciate
it if someone could point me to the proper FAQ. Thank you.

The following information is to comply with the things to mention from the book:

My /mnt/clfs partition is a USB Flashdrive attached to a 32 bit Pentium4 Desktop 
Machine
that is using OpenSUSE 11.3 with kernel 2.6.34.7-0.4-default i686. For what it's 
worth,
it is more KDE than Gnome.

I tried to not deviate from the book. ( I did a chmod to get a patch to work in 
ncurses.)

Here is the last part of the make command out-put:
