build failure on cross build

[Christer Solskogen]

Hi!

I've created my "own" cross compiler for powerpc (gcc, binutils and eglibc) and 
I'm having trouble cross compiling coreutils with that compiler. I do not have 
any 
trouble compiling both binutils, eglibc and bash with the same compiler but I 
know 
that does not mean that the cross compiler works perfectly. 
The build error I get is this, and I have not found a single place on google 
where 
this error is mentioned:

make[3]: Entering directory `/home/solskogen/obj/coreutils.ppc/lib'

I got the same error on both coreutils-8.15 and coreutils-8.16. I've not tried
any other versions yet.
