Oh how ugly.

A way to get something that will accept those native libraries is to add

#define ELF_MACHINE_ALT1 11

near the end of bfd/elf32-ppc.c. 

That change can't go into the sources though.  I'm not sure what to do
about that.  Perhaps add a new vector "elf32-powerpc-powermax" that simply
adds the alternate number.
