What is this?

Why don't you etiher burn the ISO image on a CDROM and install from
that, or use something like

$ sudo mount -o ro,loop ppc-2008-04-01_amcc.iso /mnt/tmp
$ /mnt/tmp/install -d ...

?

You are not supposed to have to do this.

Error here. You have just installed the cross tools, but no target
packages. And without target packages you have neither libraries nor
header files.

Please install from clean, unmodified distribution media.
