If you're on Ubuntu:

  $ sudo apt-get install gcc-powerpc-linux-gnu gcc-powerpc64le-linux-gnu libc-dev-powerpc-cross libc-dev-ppc64el-cross

On Fedora I think it's called gcc-powerpc64-linux-gnu.

Then to build a big endian kernel:

  $ make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-gnu- mrproper
  $ make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-gnu- ppc64_defconfig
  $ make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-gnu- -j 4


To build a little endian kernel:

  $ make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc64le-linux-gnu- mrproper
  $ make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc64le-linux-gnu- ppc64le_defconfig
  $ make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc64le-linux-gnu- -j 4
