I wonder why you did that.  The documentation does not mention
anything like that.  Please make sure _NOT_ to use any ELDK v5.x
related documentation; ELDK v5.x is totally different fromolder
versions of the ELDK like the v3.1.1 you are using here.

This message can safely be ifnored.

Please read the documentation; the DULG (see for example [1]) shows
you how to use the ELDK.  The files in the /opt/eldk/ppc_6xx directory
make up the root file system for the PowerPOC target; thi sis NOT the
cross tool chain.

You are just using he wrong files.  Please make sure to set your PATH
an the other environment variables as documented.
