cross-binutils for ppc-eabi not installing

[Jason Bolito]

Hi,

I am trying to compile cross-binutils for the PowerPC-EABI architecture.  
And while installing I get the following error:

libtool: install: install -o root -g wheel -m 555 -s embedspu  
/usr/local/bin/./ppc-eabi-embedspu
strip: /usr/local/bin/./ppc-eabi-embedspu: File format not recognized
install: wait: No such file or directory

I am no system programmer but it seems that it is trying to strip a shell  
script file which does not make sense.
Any ideas on how to fix the problem?

I am using FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE.

Thanks,
JB
