ppc = 32bit.
  powerpc= 64bit.
  Correct me if I am wrong.
   
  I am not sure why community didn't adopt the name ppc and ppc64 just like ia-32 and ia64.

  Hello,

I'm new to Linux PowerPC platform, and I'm wondering what ARCH we should
use to build the kernel. There seems to be 'ppc' and 'powerpc'. What's
the difference between the two ?

Thank you !

Benjamin
