It would depend partly on what sort of storage you have on your target.
Some details might help provide better answers.
What I do is boot a specially configured target image which knows how to
download the final image and move/install it onto the target.

Toolchains and Poky have quite an entangled history. My experience is it's
best [easier ] to just use the defaults and let Poky build what it wants.

You might try the cutting edge (check the master branch out via git). I don't
have any troubles building for PowerPC with it, even on Fedora 15.
