  Because powerpc-unknown-eabi is a general compiler suitable for all sorts
of embedded environments using all different kinds of memory maps, it needs
a further flag which tells it what kind of linker script and startup to use
for the final .exe.

  Try using the -msim flag, which will create a file suitable to load into
the ppc simulator that is included in Gdb.  You should then be able to
testrun your code in Gdb (powerpc-unknown-eabi-gdb, to be precise).
