No different than compiling for x86, just so long as there aren't any ppc
specfic thing need doing (like endian issues)
To recompile an rpm from a src.rpm just su to root and issue
"rpm --rebuild somepackage-1.0.src.rpm" then build will happen and will
stop if there are problems. If there aren't any, you'll find compiled
rpms in /usr/src/rpm/RPMS/PPC/ that can be installed.
there's other stuff you can do with rpm, I guess we'd need to know what
exactly you're trying to compile first.
