    44It is not clear to me whether this was intended and not just a copy-paste from x86 case; normally, host `powerpc64` == `ppc64`.

     6P. S. GCC has some obscure optimizations allowing for specific 64-bit insns to be emulated on G5 running in 32-bit mode (I may not describe it accurately, saying from memory), but those are pretty unsafe and, I believe, we rather not use those. Other than that, what is the use-case for recording powerpc64 for a powerpc(32) build/host?

     8(I recall Intel had an issue where x86_64 build could be forced into 32-bit (`mlton` had that issue, for example), so this hack could be addressing those.)
