Absolutely NOT !

It looks like that the PPU-toolchain requires TWO glibcs for PPU, 32-bit 
and 64-bit  :

[root@Dell lib]# file libc-2.6.so
libc-2.6.so: ELF 32-bit MSB shared object, PowerPC or cisco 4500, 
version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, not stripped
[root@Dell lib]# cd ../lib64
[root@Dell lib64]# file libc-2.6.so
libc-2.6.so: ELF 64-bit MSB shared object, 64-bit PowerPC or cisco 7500, 
version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, not stripped

One is expected to find things like "GCC for PPU" and "glibc for PPU" 
with very simple
net searches...  It took me only a few seconds to find the PPU 
crosstoolchain for a x86
host and the host-independent (but target dependent) glibc or "sysroot" 
stuff.
