I've got

/path/to/binutils/configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu \
        --target=powerpc-linux-gnu --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu \
        --enable-64-bit-bfd --disable-gdb \
        --disable-libdecnumber --disable-readline \
        --disable-sim --disable-nls --enable-plugins

Looks like the main difference is mine runs on 32-bit hosts. I hope 
that's not significant!

/me goes to check.
