It produces 32 bit XCOFF object files and can run the code as well. I compiled
it for Power processors but I can compile it for PowerPC as well but I don't
think it does 750 or 7400 code, just 604 code.

I tried to compile it with 64 bits but it doesn't link, I think it is because
the machine the compiler runs on isn't a Power machine.

And I tried to get my hands on a Itanium machine but no luck so far..... :(
