Regarding doing it right, let me explain why we're doing it that way,
maybe we can find some other way to do it correctly.

The ppc installcd has multiple kernels for different type of machines,
it has exactly 3 types of kernels, 2 64bit and 1 32bit. It uses a
stage3 ppc64 32ul to build the cd. Until last year ppc64 32ul used an
independent gcc(kgcc64) to build the kernel, so it could be called
with powerpc64-unknown-... to build the kernel.

However it switched to using a multilib gcc, so for building a 64bit
kernel it can use -m64.

gitweb for overlays is still down, so i can't post the link to the
spec file, but its this spec file:
releases/weekly/specs/ppc/ppc64/installcd-stage2-minimal.spec

Any suggestions are welcome.
