I'm in way over my head here, don't know anything about C, don't know the
source code of postgres, so don't listen to me.
( I just thought last night to try and see if I could get LinuxPPCR5 to run
on my Motorola Starmax and when that was done I thought to try and build
postgres on it, just for fun)

how bad is it that -O2 will not work? LinuxPPCR5 probably is not one of the
main platforms postgres is running on.
If not being able to -O2 the compile is really bad for perfomance a note in
the INSTALL would be in order to let people know that running on LinuxPPCR5
is not going to be a fast ride, and that the postgres dev team is aware of
the problem and that is being worked on :)

and yes change the template for linux_ppc to -O0
