Nope...only thing I put in there when trying to build the compiler is
--disable-shared and --enable-cross.  I thought that maybe they were
messing things up,  but even removed, I get the error.  I went back to
check if there were any errors in the building of binutils, but nothing
was reported at all.

Weird thing was that that was the same error that powerpc--linux-gnu-ld
was giving me when I tried to link the simple program I showed earlier.
I'm updating glibc on my machine now to make sure, but I don't know
what's up.

I'll try that next.  Of course, yes, I'm using binutils-2.11.2.  I was
wondering if that could be a problem as well.  I'm guessing that
something else is weirdly configured on my machine.
