and the others, too... i think that that's the real key to being able to set up 
a cross compiling environment... not just having those sources but also those 
necessary other platform compilers and they must be compiled in the manner 
necessary for the chosen build platform... in other words, they may not be 
called ppcwhatever.exe for the *nix platform... if they are, one must be very 
careful to grab the proper ones...
