[OpenBIOS] [RFC] cross-compiler detection does not work with dash

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
