Maybe because there is no package cross-compiler in any standard
distribution, no ?

libiberty is a library of helpers used by some GNU packages.
What seem to appear is that the libstdc++ subdirectory has not been
configured properly.
It can be because configure did not found the headers/librairies for the
PowerPC glibc...
I think you have to tell configure where to find the C library if you want
to be able to compile the full compiler. I'm sorry I don't remember the
exact option, but you'll find it in the gcc package documentation (there's
a doc explaining how to setup a cross compiler...).
