Well, give the -powerpc64 flavour a try, will you ? the powerpc and
powerpc-smp are 32bit flavours for processors from the original PPC601 upto
the latest G4, but _excluding_ any 64bit cpus, like the IBM power3/4/5 and the
PPC970, aka G5 :)

And yes, the powerpc64 flavour is smp only, so it will enable both your CPUs.
