I have done it in slightly different way even more than once:

  - I didn't have instructions mentioned in original message when tried to build
    gcc-2.8.1 as cross-compiler under Linux in July 98. It was my first attempt and
    was no easy

  - Later I built egcs-1.1 and egcs-1.1.1 (also some development snapshots and
    prereleases) as cross-compilers and didn't met similar problems. 

Perhaps I'll do it once more with egcs-1.1.2 when it will be out. Especially as
have upgraded from libc-5.4.46 to glibc-2.1 and that requires to rebuild many 
things.

One additional step I did was to apply part of patches I did to gcc and egcs 
sources to build native compiler for DJGPP. Of course not all patches are required
but some of them are recommended.
