The cywin GCC is compiled to generate Intel 386,486... code ONLY. To generate
code for the powerpc you must use a cross-compiler. There are a number of
ways to obtain a gcc cross-compiler.
1) build one yourself from the gcc/egcs sources (not recommended for newbies
unless this is what you really want to do).
2) obtain some precompiled binaries. I would recommend the Oject Software
site ( http://www.objsw.com ). It has precompiled binaries (including
libraries) of gcc that target m68k, powerpc, and sh-1. These run on DOS and
Windows platforms. Get the powerpc downloads and the -mpowerpc option will
then be recognised. The web site has the CrossGCC FAQ and details on how to
join the CrossGCC mailing list.
