I've installed that compiler, as well as a ppc64 chroot install from
debian-ppc64.alioth.debian.org/gcc4
Have you tried building a kernel with that biarch compiler? What do I
set GCC and LD to?
I am also having trouble getting a simple test program to link (I'm
trying to use the libc.a from the ppc64 chroot)

Somone asked my why I work on this free (http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/)
software stuff and not get a real job. Charles Shultz had the best answer:

because life wouldn't have any meaning for them if they didn't. That's why
I draw cartoons. It's my life." -- Charles Shultz
