A way to get something that will accept those native libraries is to add
#define ELF_MACHINE_ALT1 11
near the end of bfd/elf32-ppc.c.
That change can't go into the sources though. I'm not sure what to do
about that. Perhaps add a new vector "elf32-powerpc-powermax" that simply
adds the alternate number.
