Well, I've heard horror stories about compiling "hello world" too,
but that doesn't mean it's particularly complicated. ;)

If "cross-compiling" from PPC I can't see why you should need to do
anything else than configure the kernel properly.
And this diff is all that is needed to cross-compile from ix86 Linux:
