Some of the libraries are not migrated. So common_linuxapp_powerpc is used to turn off the uncompiled part. This file is a copy of the common_linuxapp. And this file is intended to be removed when all of the libraries are migrated to Power. Actually, it's the current common file for linux and other OS, such as BSD. However, I didn't try the compilation on BSD. But this probably needs to be done.
