You should have waited for a message from the gdb list... But your problem
is very simple: you're buiding for "powerpc-linux-gun". You cannot build
for one OS on another OS. It doesn't (usually) work.

Are you targeting powerpc-linux??? If so, build it on your powerpc-linux
box. If you are building for generic powerpc-eabi or something, then use
"powerpc-eabi" as a target.
