No idea, i can say that we have 5 powerpc images :
powerpc,powerpc-smp,powerpc-miboot,powerpc64,apus
And hopefully some day powerpc-nubus or nubus too.
Notice that for 64bit powerpc we dropped the -up flavour in favour of
smp-only, and that the powerpc/powerpc-smp flavours work all the way down to
the original 601e based powermacs.
