Hi Suzuki,
I've got a few issues with this patch-set, as inlined below:

I understand what you're attempting to do, but as written I don't
seen how this can possibly work. The TARGET will be either
uppercase "PPC" or "PPC64", so CONF_FLAGS will never be set
to -m64. In fact, I just tested it doing a ppc64 native build,
and it doesn't pass the -m64 to the configure.c build.

I'd prefer not to use "TARGET" as the Makefile define being passed
to the gdb build process. It's just too common a name, and I don't
want to run the risk that it interferes with anything built below it.
Can you change it to something that's guaranteed to be unique throughout
the whole build process? You know, something like "CRASH_CROSS_ARCH_TARGET",
and change gdb-7.3.1/Makefile.in accordingly?
Thanks,
Dave
