Ah ha - I built libc6-dev-powerpc-cross myself, using dpkg-cross 1.9, 
but it put everything in /usr/local/powerpc-linux, even though 
/etc/dpkg/cross-compile contains:


crossbase = /usr


dpkg-cross used to put everything in /usr/powerpc-linux - however I've 
since created a private configuration file!

I expected dpkg-cross to read both configuration files, overriding 
options in /etc/dpkg/cross-compile with options in my private 
configuration. This is not the case, & it wasn't clear that it is not 
until I groked the source.

Although rough, this patch corrects my problem. /etc/dpkg/cross-compile 
is respected, while custom configuration options are read from my 
private configuration file. I rebuilt libc6-dev-powerpc-cross & 
building gcc no longer complains about signal.h.

Thank you, Nikita!
