You can, but be aware that if you are compiling for a native powerpc
system you normally want as, ld, etc. to default to 32-bit.  It's not so
important when building cross toolchains, since you will be installing
powerpc64-linux-as, powerpc64-linux-ld etc.  Also, building a biarch
toolchain, especially from scratch, isn't as simple as it could be.
Don't be surprised when things don't work if you deviate from Janis'
build scripts.  In fact, don't be surprised if things don't work when
you follow the script religiously.
