i hav a power pc cross compiler powerpc-linux-gnuspe-g++/gcc in the below PATH set
[I have the following errors

You're setting CC={CROSS_COMPILE}gcc. You don't have a compiler called {CROSS_COMPILE}gcc. You should be setting CC like CC="${CROSS_COMPILE}gcc". Note the $ before the {CROSS_COMPILE} to indicate this is a variable.
