Hello Carlos!
Happy new year! :-)
Leo just reminded me of this patch on IRC, and I feel guilty that it
stood there for so long. Apologies!

I ended up splitting it in 3 patches (gcc, linux-libre, and
glibc-dynamic-linker) that I just pushed to ‘core-updates’. I also
added copyright lines for you where appropriate. Hope that’s fine!

Sounds like a good plan.
Commit 9410a5aa916035bb4d7f032a5fe81cfb497887c8 adds powerpc-linux-gnu
cross-builds for Hydra (though Hydra is currently busy with the
‘staging’ branch.)

Awesome!
Sorry again for the delay and the frustration it probably entailed.
Cheers,
Ludo’.
