You can't do that. You get here only if user has selected 
TOOLCHAIN_DEFAULT_CPU, in which case you don't want to for -mcpu=powerpc.

-mcpu=powerpc is set when user selects CONFIG_POWERPC_CPU, in which case 
CONFIG_TARGET_CPU_BOOL is set as well.

Same, for PPC64 I think you don't want that either, unless the 
CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU has been selected in which case 
CONFIG_TARGET_CPU_BOOL is not set.

When CONFIG_TARGET_CPU_BOOL is set for PPC64 you also want 
-mcpu=$(CONFIG_TARGET_CPU)
