AFAIK, there is no powerpc support in our toolchain yet. It's on obrien's
todo list (and if it isn't, I'll put it there =)). As to the use of a prefix,
I just thought it'd be easier to be able to completely override the name of
the binary we're using in the same way that I could do:
setenv CC /usr/local/bin/ultra-funky-c-compiler-pro
and have it work.
