I always use the same toolchain
for compile-testing PPC32/64.

I have never been hit by the issue you mention.
Somebody would have reported it if it were still a problem.

Moreover, commit 43c9127d94d6
translated the environment variable "GNUTARGET"
into the command option "--target="

My powerpc-linux-ar does not know it:

powerpc-linux-ar: -t: No such file or directory
