Rep:
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 ?
.....
Which OS are you using ?
->Linux
Are you cross compiling ?
->we use the same code for i86 as well as powerpc
Has the software / project got a name ?
->it has the name
we compile specifying the TARGET=powerpc.Since am introducing a file for the first time in the project am facing these issues.Am unable to figur eout the exact problem.Is it with Makefile or am unable to compile my file for powerpc.Please justhelp me in tracing the error.

Rep:
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.
