[gentoo-embedded] Problem with powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu

[Gordon Oliver]

Hello All.

I'm having a bit of trouble getting a cross toolset with
powerpc/softfloat.

I get whole piles of warnings saying:
warning: -msoft-float and -mlong-double-128 not supported

Eventually, my build dies with:
error: #error "Here's a nickel kid.  Go buy yourself a real computer."

I couldn't find anything obvious on the net... Does someone have an idea
of what could be wrong (and how I would go about fixing it)?

I am attempting to build a toolchain for a powerpc 405 core. (It would
appear that I need softfloat for this, though I am not 100% certain).

Thanks in advance
