I'm not a Linux PPC user, but it looks to me like maybe this is what
you want:

If not, I suggest you do the Gcc build in your personal account like this:

$ cd
$ mkdir packages src arc
$ S=$HOME/src
$ P=$HOME/packages
$ A=$HOME/arc
$ cd $A
$ ftp ftp.gnu.org 
(ftp) cd pub/gnu/gcc
(ftp) get gcc-2.95.1.tar.gz
(ftp) quit
$ cd
$ tar -C $S -z -x -f $A/gcc-2.95.1.tar.gz
$ mkdir -p build/gcc-2.95.1
$ cd build/gcc-2.95.1
$ $S/gcc-2.95.1/configure --srcdir=$S --prefix=$P
$ make bootstrap
$ make install

This has approach has two advantages 1) you're not running as
root, so you don't risk hurting your system, 2) if you need to reconfigure
or retry the build for some reason, you haven't touched the source tree.
