[ELDK] ELDK : ppc-linux-gcc and ppc_4xxFP-gcc

[renjith kumar]

Dear Detlev,

I find the prob may be with the old Incomplete Installation.
I removed all directory and did a fresh install , with ppc-2008-04-01.iso
and it worked fine.
Thanks for the suggestions and help.
I am using  Ubuntu 7.04 - the Feisty Fawn - released in April 2007.
Now I am able to compile u-boot and linux for sequoia.

Thanks'n Regards,
Renjith.
