Untested (not even compile-tested) patch.
Could someone point me to ppc32/64 cross-compilers for i386?

OSDL had some, but those are gone now.
I downloaded all of them and still use them, although it would
be good to have some more recent versions of them.

I put the power* compiler tarballs here:

http://userweb.kernel.org/~rdunlap/cross-compilers/

Thanks -- BTW I made some simple changes to the tree structure in there
and added a few distcc [*] related scriptlets. The resulting tar ball:

http://www.cse.iitk.ac.in/users/ssatyam/powerpc64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.bz2

can be made to work with Andrew's nice "xb" script with the following
trivial patch:

In fact, it turns out OSDL's cross-compiler toolchains were built with
crosstool itself. Should also add that those OSDL compilers are too old
(gcc version 3.4.x-3.5.x mostly -- my build was totally spammed with those
"+m" in asm constraints related warnings), so I'll try and build a few
more recent ones (at least for the more popular platforms) over the
weekend too.

[*] But I'm a bit skeptical if the distcc stuff in "xb" works as intended.
    Has anybody used that successfully? Will test it over the weekend ...
