Found the cause of my previous trouble, and can now cross-build library
for my target PowerPC platform.
What was the cause?
My operator error. The makefile was pointing to libraries built from a previous
failed attempt, and after successfully cross-building them in a different
location, I forgot to update the makefile.

However, my attempt to build and run the serialization example program
demo_xml_save.cpp resulted in a segmentation fault with the backtrace

Weird. Are you sure the version of libstdc++ on the PowerPC system
where you run this is the same as included with your cross-compiler?
A large amount of software has been built for this embedded PowerPC application
using the same set of tools without any libstdc++ compatibility issues, so I'm
fairly confident the problem lies elsewhere, though I don't have a clue where,
and can't afford any more time spent on this approach.
