On powerpc we currently have 3 ports. I have been concentrating on the embeddedplanet ep405pc. I have been able to coax it all the way through the configuration process but I'm not certain how many of the things I have done are just hacks at the moment.
I've been looking at http://kegel.com/crosstool/ now and I'm waiting for a gcc 3.4.x for PPC 750 to finish. I'm not sure what target to build for, but it'll be ok for a try.
crosstool is the way to go. It's really important in the ppc stuff to get all the right patches to for a working setup.
There are many on the embedded lists I'm on who claim "real developers build thier own toolchain" but also in those circles cross tool is considered to be the defacto reference for building a working cross toolchain.
