I installed (I know it sounds strange it's more like a bet with someone) Yellow Dog 5.0.1 on PS3 because he wanted to use toolchain on PS3 rather than on his own computer...
So I installed Yellow Dog 5.0.1 and then I took the last toolchain using svn.
Note:
I've already installed it on other Linux distrib so I knew what to install first (bison, flex and so on...)
When I tried to run toolchain.sh I got at first an error, it did not find Bison installed but it was in fact :)
The command line used to check bison availability in the .sh begins with:
yacc --version
and yacc answered it didn't know this parameter and so the check failed.
When I type bison --version in terminal I got the version number of Bison.
So I simply replaced yacc --version by bison --version and it worked.
Then the psptoolchain installation went smoothly until the last script, 008-insight-6.4.sh.
When it comes to the "make clean && make -j 2 etc..." line, I always got the same weird error as this guy:

I tried to generate the files but that was close to impossible...
I tried also to make clean in psptoolchain/build/insight-6.4/build-psp but it always failed...
Then I tried something, I launched another terminal and went into:
psptoolchain/build/insight-6.4/build-psp
And then I typed in terminal the lines from the .sh script, beginning with the ../configure (so not the patch as it was already done).
The ../configure went good, then I typed make clean and no problem this time !
No problem too for the make -j 2 and for the make install.
For the last make clean, I had once again the same error, rather strange...
But then I compiled a simple hello world without trouble.
Perhaps it'll help other people I don't know :)
