I switched from prep to c99 over a year ago, but the old file is still buried in the archives circa 2008 or so: http://landley.net/hg/hgwebdir.cgi/aboriginal/file/ad65353ad01c/sources/toys Look for ppc_rom.bin and make-ppc_rom.tar.bz2 both more or less from Milton Miller. The corresponding ppc configuration is in sources/targets/powerpc and it worked at the time. (I just switched to something I could do a normal -kernel with like all the other targets.)
