Did you read the cross-gcc FAQ?

There are two gotchas that I remember:
 - after ./configuring for a cross target, call 
   make LANGUAGES="c c++"  (or "c")
   (different from a native compiler)
 - the build process expects the target include files in the path which you
   specified with --prefix=/some/where, so you should put the MiNT include
   files there.

The easiest method to build a cross compiler is to use the "one-tree build",
which merges gcc, binutils and newlib into a single source path, where
everything is configures and built in one go (you can forget newlib for a
MiNT target, but this combination is often used for embedded targets and you
have a high probability of getting a working compiler this way).

The one-tree.sh script is mentioned somewhere in the cross-gcc FAQ, look on
objsw.com if you can't locate it, if that fails too, I can send you a copy
which I used for a.out/elf cross-compilers for various targets.
