Hello,
On Ubuntu Karmic `./config/scripts/switch-arch cross-ppc` did not recognize my powerpc-elf-gcc. The GNOME Terminal appears to use bash, where `type -p powerpc-elf-gcc && echo yah` works, but /bin/sh is dash, where it does not: echo "type -p powerpc-elf-gcc && echo yah" | /bin/sh
The following change made it work.
Andreas
