For linux64.h which is what I think the powerpc64-linux build will use,
we have:

linux64.h:#define OS_MISSING_POWERPC64 !TARGET_64BIT

Doing the macro expansion by hand into:

  set_masks = POWERPC_MASKS;
#ifdef OS_MISSING_POWERPC64
  if (OS_MISSING_POWERPC64)
    set_masks &= ~OPTION_MASK_POWERPC64;
#endif


...gives us:

  set_masks = POWERPC_MASKS;
  if (!TARGET_64BIT)
    set_masks &= ~OPTION_MASK_POWERPC64;

So if we handled a -mpowerpc64 earlier on the command line and added
OPTION_MASK_POWERPC64 to our cpu mask, then a following -m32 use will
remove it here.

So I mentioned doing:

linux64.h:
- #define OS_MISSING_POWERPC64 !TARGET_64BIT
+ #define OS_MISSING_POWERPC64 0

...which disables the above code only for powerpc64-linux builds and doesn't
affect AIX, Darwin, BSD, etc. or a powerpc-linux build.

Sure, but someone who is using -m32 -mpowerpc64 should know that and
relying on a 32-bit glibc to save/restore the full 64-bit registers
is a user error in my book.  If you're using -m32 -mpower64, you
better know what you are doing and the limitations you have to live under.
