You need to change both the -DCPU and -march flags to be ppc.  There might 
be other stuff as well, I dunno, though the malloc.h -> slab.h thing has 
caused people trouble with other things, you may want to go ahead and 
edit speedtouch.c to reflect this, or at least be prepared to go back and 
change it it the driver doesn't work.  

Note that there's no promise that it will work once compiled - clearly
it's designed on x86 so there may be some specific assumptions made in the
driver based the arch being x86 which just won't work on PPC

HTH,
