I don't remember what the problem was. It might have been that there
was no simulator to go with powerpc-elf. (For scripting purposes,
what I want is for all supported CPUs to have <cpu>-elf be the correct
target to configure for simulator testing, and the associated dejagnu
--target_board setting to be <cpu>-sim. Currently this combination
works for about two-thirds of supported CPUs.)
