Please clarify a couple of things :

Which OS are you using ? ?
Are you cross compiling ?
Has the software / project got a name ?

If it is an "in house" project, somebody there must know,
why they wrote `powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc' ?

"powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc" is a cross compiler binary, used
to build for target powerpc on a host with a different OS.
A bug in a file / Makefile / configuration scripts ?

To cross compile, you will need a dedicated tool - chain.
A tool chain is minimum : binutils, a libc,
the powerpc-linux-gnu-gcc compiler, all specially compiled
to produce code / binaries, which can run on the powerpc
processor. Also meaning : You cannot test the result on
Linux.

The (only) recommended / maintained / updated tool is crosstool-NG
http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/dokuwiki/projects/crosstool
http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/download...-1.5.1.tar.bz2
.. updated three weeks ago.

.....

It is advisable to tell which Linux, you are using, every time
a question is asked ... like Fedora 11, RedhatEL5, CentOS 5.4 ...
