Spelling ("overridden").

How can it be overridden at build time?

How can it be defined already, when linux64.h is included?  Don't put in
guards against things that cannot happen.

Does it?  Don't disable things just because you do not want to think
about if and how to support them.  Be much more exact in the comment here
if you do have a reason to disable it here.

TARGET_POWERPC64 is -mpowerpc64.  -m64 is TARGET_64BIT.

Should these be the other way around?
