Could you try the safer install path:
- BeOS R5 PE (from http://bebits.com/app/2680)
- Whatever driver you need to access Internet from BeOS
- BeOS DevTools (from http://bebits.com/app/2680)
- BONE (from wherever you get it ;-))
- Gcc 2.95.3-beos-041202 (from http://bebits.com/app/4011)

I'm not confident about Max PE, maybe others could help you.

Please don't do that (in BeOS coders lingua, we say B_DONT_DO_THAT!).
Haiku SVN already have a haiku/buildtools tree that contains the right 2.95.3
Gcc version already patched for crosscompiling for BeOS platforms.
The file at haiku/haiku/trunk/ReadMe explain how to build/develop on Haiku from
Linux. Check it at
http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/haiku/haiku/trunk/ReadMe?rev=15384&view=markup.

When followed, these instructions works fine.
