At present, GDB already has PowerPC support --- just not native
PowerPC support.  Configure it with something like
--target=powerpc-elf; see configure.tgt for details.

It even has some MPC750 support, although that's only been tested with
the simulator.  There's still some work needed to the target protocol
to make it work with a real machine (i.e. handling the special-purpose
registers), but I don't know of any other difficulties.
