If you only need to use the cross toolchain, I think ELDK is a good choice. other alternatives would be gentoo cross toolchain (using crossdev ie crossdev -t powerpc64-unknownlinux-gnu) and emdebian/slind.

Gentoo cross toolchain is my favorite, it very simple to (e)merge (just
crossdev -t arch-vendor-platform-libc) and the toolchain is managed by
gentoo package manager (portage) so all packages in the toolchain is
upgradable. I've installed about 12 different (gentoo) cross toolchain
on one machine for cross compiling.

Personally I don't use emdebian/slind but still I think they're also a
good choice.
