Currently I took the plunge and dumped the whole binutils directory in
the main gcc source...will see how it goes after I selected
--host=x86_64 and --target=powerpc, fingers crossed!
Nope! :-(
Same error, though things are a bit different with the binutils package:

I see ar, ranlib and strip have been picked up from the binutils
directory though the error is exactly the same as before - line 83 exec
not found (what exec id doesn't say). So, I presume I have to build
binutils first and place the executables in prefix/target/bin, right?
