Our "ppc" target was never a true 32bit system but a 64bit system with a 32bit "default" runtime and 64bit multilibs, so most binaries in the system were 32bit binaries but select ones could be 64bit. Note the GCC binaries themselves become 32bit binaries as well (the way we use it the host compiler is the very same, powerpc64-linux compiler defaulting to 32bit code generation). For "ppc64" this infrastructure is also used to build 32bit runtimes for packages that do not multilib themselves (so we cannot really abandone it completely).
