cross-building PPC toolchain for x86 Linux

[Sandeep J M]

Hi Ben,

Thanks for your reply. My question is whether Yellow Dog Linux can be used 
in Cross Development System where host is pentium and target is ppc. In the 
Yellow Dog Linux website, it is mentionesd YDL can be used on PowerPC or 
Apple Computers. No where it is mentioned that it can be used on pentium 
host as standalone. This means on the pentium host we need to use Red Hat 
Linux with YDL BSPs/LSPs and  third-party IDE(Workbench/Time Storm).

-Regards
Sandeep
