Unfortunately with those commits I get this when compiling for a
64-bit target:

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:668: Error: Unrecognized opcode: `sldi'

[etc.]

It turns out that with Arnd's patches we now get "-mcpu=powerpc64" on
the command line, and that means that gcc *doesn't* put "-mppc64" the
as command line, and as barfs on the 64-bit instructions.  That's
presumably a gcc bug, but we'll have to work around it.

It is not.  -mcpu=powerpc64 doesn't select an ABI, and your
GCC presumably defaults to the 32-bit ABI.  Use -m64 on the
GCC command line, too, you need it, and it solves this issue
as a side effect.

It would be a bug if GCC would allow 64-bit insns in the
32-bit ABI for Linux, but that is currently not the case :-(

I think the
best thing is just to not put the -mcpu=powerpc64 in CFLAGS when no
specific CPU is selected.

That would be the "use the compiler default CPU" option.
