Hey, feel free to make the Makefile turn "ppc64" into "powerpc" and fixing 
it that way. That's what all the other platforms do:

	SUBARCH := $(shell uname -m | sed -e s/i.86/i386/ -e s/sun4u/sparc64/ \
	                                  -e s/arm.*/arm/ -e s/sa110/arm/ \
	                                  -e s/s390x/s390/ -e s/parisc64/parisc/ )

but if so, you should get rid of the old non-working ppc64 too.
