To me, this indicates that _no-one_ is using gcc on powerpc, not even
for compiling normal applications, let alone for huge complex shared
libraries with -fpic, and it would be lots and lots of work to make it
reliable.
No, it just means there's some bug compiling glibc 2.1 that needs to
be fixed, or perhaps a more general bug with -fpic. It should be
reported in enough detail to be fixed, if it hasn't already been in the
development sources.
I can't speak for GCC compiling C on PowerPC, but I do know that there
are large commercial projects using GNU Ada (based on GCC 2.8.1) on PowerPC.
