I believe building cross-compiler is currently broken in gcc-2.95
It works however in gcc-3.3 and gcc-3.4 - probably you should try those.

Some pre-built debs are availabe from 
http://zigzag.lvk.cs.msu.su/~nikita/debian/

I have plans to fix cross-compiler building in gcc-2.95 also - but I can't 
predict the timescale.
