I build all PPC-Linux stuff on a ix86 PII - kernels and user-space
stuff. Recently only for a custom board, but previously I've built
MBX, ADS and FADS kernels.

There's nothing special about cross-compiling from ix86-->PPC, except
the cross compiling itself. If you haven't built a cross-compiler
before I suggest you have a look at:

and
