 hi,
 sorry, I'm neither a gcc nor a ppc expert, but nobody seems to be
 responding.
 
 what you seem to be suggesting: set the default for RS6000 to ppc64, as
 the kernel is miscompiled when ppc is chosen.
 aside from seeming like a very dangerous change, it's very confusing to
 me. the documentation I have[1] says that ppc405 is 32bit.
 
 Is it not?
