It is not.  -mcpu=powerpc64 doesn't select an ABI, and your
GCC presumably defaults to the 32-bit ABI.  Use -m64 on the
GCC command line, too, you need it, and it solves this issue
as a side effect.

It would be a bug if GCC would allow 64-bit insns in the
32-bit ABI for Linux, but that is currently not the case :-(

That would be the "use the compiler default CPU" option.
