I remember I ran into similar problems with ppl-010.2 while I try to
find a setup for a arm crosscompiler with gcc4.7.1. After choosing
ppl-0.11.2 and setting the switch -fpermissive the build was successful
(but of course with a lot warnings while global settings for LDFLAGS).

Right, GCC greater 4.6 are more strict while syntax checking, so without
-fpermissive actual compiler in Debian wheezy will give up. But for me
is setting -fpermisse just a temporaly solution. Newer GCCs will always
give up in such cases and that's correct.

No need for that. :-)
Wheezy use the current GCC 4.7.2 and the sources need a patch to correct
the source or the switch -fpermissive.

Because I don't know exactly how to patch the source (I don't have take
a deep look into it) or the Makefile for ppl-0.1x.x inside the
crosstool-ng environment I can't provide some useful right now.
