Quick top-post just to indicate that I just did gcc 4.2.1 based cross-builds for TARGET_ARCH=powerpc and TARGET_ARCH=powerpc64 and they completed. They had analogous warnings to what clang (powerpc) and powerpc64-gcc (powerpc64) produced. I do not have a context to test powerpc64 or powerpc kbo

It is not 64-bit only; like the normal loader, it can load both 32-bit and 64-bit kernels. Those two flags are probably obsolete at this point and were for compatibility with pre-2.17.5 versions of binutils. Can you do a test build with the -CFLAGS+= -Wa,-mppc64bridge line removed? -Nathan On
