I suppose we could add code that detects ppc64 and print a message that says "64 bit PowerPC is not supported. Please use 32 bit instead". But I think correcting the problem might be better. The 64 bit code would have full access to the 64 bit CPU and might be faster.

My forthstrap is 64 bits. Here is the 'file' output on the file (no pun intended):
Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64

What does the file command say about your forthstrap file? 
file ./config/scripts/obj-ppc/forthstrap

Are you using a 32 bit or 64 bit kernel? 
"uname -a" will tell.
