Nah, I used the powerpc target.

The next build I'll use the normal target and build a 64 bit toolchain  
but just build 32 bit user space.
That'll keep from having to build the 64 bit compiler at the end.

I have a ticket to create a 64 pure book for PPC64, I may go ahead and  
do that, however, I"ll keep working
on this. Haha, but then with the pure64 book I might want to include a  
32 bit compiler. I got lots of free time coming up, so be patient.
