Yes, it is also ok for the powerpc series, they mainly aim to the fast
build and test goal of 'tinyconfig', and the other default
CROSS_COMPILE's will be added together with the left tinyconfig support
by architecture.

I'm ok if you are happy to merge it into the powerpc series, then, we can focus
on the left ones ;-)
