Ok, there probably still are uses for powerpc left.... but if someone
tried to sell you a cellphone with "hey, this is not an ordinary
cellphone, this one does not run stupid arm, this one runs great power
pc" ... what would you tell him?
Switch from arm to ppc is as hard as a crosscompile, and I do not
think PowerPC is significantly different from ARM for cellphone use.
