   At present, GDB already has PowerPC support --- just not native
   PowerPC support.  Configure it with something like
   --target=powerpc-elf; see configure.tgt for details.

Just to be pedantic, GDB *does* have native PowerPC AIX support, and
it might even be that the PowerPC NT support still works, although
it's probably bitrotted along with PPC NT in general :-) .  It's only
the Linux support that is awaiting copyright assignment - or an
alternate set of unemcumbered patches.
