Here are my diffs to ppp-2.3.11 - after applying the patches, run

    ./configure Linux
    make CC=<cross>-gcc INCLDIR=<crossdir>/include LIBRDIR=<crossdir>/lib all

where <cross> is your cross compiler prefix e.g. powerpc-linux, and <crossdir>
is the location of your cross compiler include and library files - something
like /opt/powerpc/<cross>. Probably not a good idea to try to run the "install"
target without setting DESTDIR.

I cross-compile under Solaris 2.7, but it should work for Linux-x86 ->
Linux/PPC also (in fact, because both are linux, you probably don't need the
"Linux" arg to "./configure").

Standard caveat applies - I wrote this message all from memory, check it
out yourself before you run it to be sure that it does what I think it does.
Cheers!
