I don't see how. The CPU list produced by 'qemu-ppc64 -cpu help' does 
not include anything that resembles e5500/6500 or Power5/6/7 (the 64 bit 
ppc chips that oe-core has definitions for), and I'm not a powerpc 
expert by any measure, so I can't investigate the problem any further. 
It needs to be looked at by someone who is actually working with that 
hardware.

The best we can do now is disable use of qemu, so that builds that 
target ppc64 don't fail.
