I assumed that powerpcspe could lead to confusion with the SPE/SPU CPUs
which can be found on cell blades and PS3. The 'g' comes from gnuspe,
the last part in th gcc tripplet.
Do you thing it causing more trouble than good?

Why do we want matching the ppc64 arch? The CPUs support only 32bit.
ppc(g)spe makes the name smaller which might be handy.
