Yes, my fault. But currently there is _no_ support for 
powerpc64-*-freebsd*. The first release of the OS which really supports 
64-bit powerpc will be FreeBSD-9.0.

As I understand this is fine since there is no freebsd6 support 
available for powerpc64.

I was in the hope to contribute the gcc support for powerpc64 freebsd a 
few weeks ago. Unfortunately I have first to fix a few system issues 
before I can continue.

The last working revision of FSF gcc is r122895, but this includes local 
additions which are not yet ready to be released.
