> What are the impact of replacing ppc970 with ppc7400 ?

The idea behind using any/ppc970 is to have the option to compile code 
that *can* be executed on latest CPU and *then* programmaticaly prevent 
the execution on older CPU at *run-time*. Thus providing single binary 
for multiple systems. As opposite to generating code for specific CPU 
and then making sure correct binary is installed on any given system.

In released 1.0.0 there is *no* PPC code working as described above, 
which means that you *don't have to* rebuild. Not unless you want to 
give the binary to as user with even older system. A.
