cross-building PPC toolchain for x86 Linux

[Cian Duffy]

Derick - Bochs is too slow to be used for -anything-. It also has no 
relevance to what he was asking about.

Unfortunately, YDL does not run on Intel platforms, only PowerPC, so on 
the Pentium machine you will need to run something else capable of 
hosting a cross compiling enviroment - Red Hat Linux will work. If you 
wish to target YDL for the ppc cross development, you can use it for 
the PowerPC libraries and headers required to cross compile.
