Hi jonathan, owing to security issues (it is in the posting of my IRC chat) ppa will not build PPC variants. As the ppc-bios is in .deb format, and my server runs .yum it was suggested that the binary of ppc-bios could be extracted from a debian based system and inserted into a yum based system. If this is possible, then the issue of the existing processors being slow to compile on in emulation should not be a major issue. (The dedi server [1] does have a reasonable amount of CPU's behind it).
But, as I said on there, this stuff is beyond my limited capabilities.
