How many out there actually are compiling PPC code natively
on a PowerPC Linux box for their embedded devices?

Not me. I cross compile all my distributions from x86 hosts.
I like the idea of separating the target system from the
host system. To keep track of used libraries and to be able
to recreate the same distribution in the future with another
host.

I've always wanted a sleek laptop from apple,
but I would like more than one mouse button...
