No need to. The compiler does not crash. It cannot find i386-linux-ld.

You need the binutils for cross-compilation. See the buildfaq.

Or, create them yourself. Add the following bash-scripts somewhere in 
your path and make them executable: (Works on Fedora, might be different 
on other systems)

i386-linux-as:
--------------------------
#!/bin/bash
# name this file /usr/bin/i386-linux-as
as --32 $@
--------------------------

i386-linux-ld:

--------------------------
#!/bin/bash
# name this file /usr/bin/i386-linux-ld
ld -A elf32-i386 $@
--------------------------
