Error building gdb on Linux for PowerPC

Hi All,

Trying to build gdb for RTEMS 4.6.5 on Gentoo Linux for target PowerPC, 
and I get the following error.  Any ideas? 

Note: I couldn't just install the prebuilt binaries, as RPM doesn't seem 
to work on Gentoo.  Besides, because Gentoo is a source distribution, 
it's more kosher to build.  ;-)

Thanks!
