problems building win32-hosted cross compiler

["Rob Taylor" <robt at flyingpig dot com>]

I'm trying to build a win32 hosted cross compiler to powerpc-unknown-eabi with
the cygwin toolchain.
When I try to link a powerpc exec (i.e when xgcc tried to build a test of
libgcc), powerpc-unknown-eabi-ld freezes. passing --verbose gives

GNU ld version 2.9.5 (with BFD 2.9.5.0.22)
  Supported emulations:
   elf32ppc
using internal linker script:
==================================================

==================================================
and then freeze.

I'm configuring binutils with
--prefix=/usr/target-powerpc --target=powerpc-unknown-eabi

and gcc-core with

--prefix=/usr/target-powerpc --target=powerpc-unknown-eabi --with-exeext=".exe"
\
--with-newlib

Has anyone got any idea what's happening?

Thanks,
