I really doubt you need to mess with any of these files.  Have you tried
the host parameter that I suggested (--host=ppc-linux-gnu)?  I believe
that worked for me, but it's been a while.  

Unfortunately I can't spare any time on this right now.  Have you
checked to see if there's a mailing list for the clish project?  I
imagine building this for a 32-bit PowerPC has been done before many
times over.
