Even then, it's not that difficult if you just want to compile kernels, no
userspace apps.

Something like:
  - copy your PPC includes to /usr/local/powerpc-linux/include.
  - get binutils
  - ./configure powerpc-linux
  - make && make install
  - get gcc
  - ./configure powerpc-linux --enable-languages=c
  - make && make install

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
