sbuild/buildd would be a good start. I could look for my old RFS if you want. I used the DM layer with snapshots as a setup with around 10 or 20GiB space. Anyway. The packages listed in Needs-Build are hardly interresting. You need to look at BD-Uninstallable. Look at the list [0]. Most packages are stuck due to debhelper. Look what is wrong, my guess is that you can't install python. For manuall fixing you need a minimal build environment and I used always schroot for that. Sometimes all you need to do is to to install deps by force (snapshots.debian.org may have old _all.deb files for you), sometimes it may include altering the packages. Once you have to change a package manually create a source package from it and add a +powerpcspe1 suffix to it. Make sure this can be built by sbuild as-it. If it is a temproary change note it in the changelog. If you need this change in upcomming releases submit it to the BTS and please tag them [1]. Because this is not an official ARCH the severity is wishlist. Once you fixed a few packages, let me look at them and then let me look how we can hook you up to a wanna-build network so your buildd can on its own.
