Yes, that is also my worry about, I am not sure why its only
done in gcc-tareget.inc.

1. How about directly fix python3. Allow the platform triplet 
'powerpc-linux-gnuspev1',
     It should not have any side effect on python3

2. Since the above only done in gcc-tareget.inc, how about apply the 
following
fix to gcc-cross.inc and gcc-cross-canadian.inc, we do not check cpu 
while powerpc pse.

I know both of them are workaround.
