Hello Daniel,

For two simple reasons:
 1) I don't have personal interest in PPC, it not being one of my targets,
    and thus I can't test by myself (although qemu might come handy);
 2) noone with PPC interest has contributed code so far (or I missed it).

If you want, you can try to add PPC support. It's fairly easy to add a new
architecture: please see the file "docs/overview.txt", chapter "Internals",
section "Architecture-specific". Then look at what other targets do in arch/
and adapt to the PPC case.

If you manage to have it working, then please share your experiment with us!

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
