Thanks.  I was trying to track it down but did not understand the magic
going on behind the screen. :)

This lets it get further and now it fails in the same way the mips64orion
did.  It builds at least one multilib version of tmplibgcc2.a and then
complains ...:

build-powerpc-tools/gcc/ -O2  -DCROSS_COMPILE -DIN_GCC    -O2 -g
-I./include   -g1 -DIN_LIBGCC2 -D__GCC_FLOAT_NOT_NEEDED -fexceptions
-Dinhibit_libc   -mlittle -mrelocatable-lib -mno-eabi -mstrict-align -I.
-I../../src/gcc -I../../src/gcc/config -c -DL${name} \
      ../../src/gcc/libgcc2.c -o ${name}.o; \
  if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then true; else exit 1; fi; \
  /usr1/rtems/work/tools/build-powerpc-tools/binutils/ar rc tmplibgcc2.a
${name}.o; \
  rm -f ${name}.o; \
done
_muldi3
_divdi3
/usr1/rtems/work/tools/build-powerpc-tools/binutils/ar: tmplibgcc2.a:
Invalid operation

It does this repeatedly until the rule stmp-multilib-sub fails.  Is this a
related problem but in ar?

I will start to see what I can figure out about this one. :)
