Configure patch reads: "linux-ppc64", "gcc:-b powerpc64-linux ..." Is it an "official" way to make gcc generate ppc64 objects? "Official" means "as appears in most PPC64 Linux distributions." My concern is that -b is not documented option (it's used during bootstrapping the compiler), while there seem to be documented options, -m64 or -mpowerpc64 to be specific, which might be more appropriate to use. At least Linux kernel seem to be compiled with -m64... I also wonder what kind of object file is generated by default if gcc is invoked without -m64 or -m32...
