no, as you suggested, that part's trivial with plan 9:  a cross-compiler suite
is simply a compiler suite compiled for some other architecture than its target.
thus, compile qa, qc, ql on x86 (or anything else), run them, and they generate code for powerpc.
for commands and libraries, use
	objtype=power
	mk install
in /sys/src and it will make and install /power versions of everything
(except to the extent that it runs into dented mkfiles or source files).
