Are you sure you want to use the a.out object file format? If so, why? I would guess that nobody has ever used the a.out object file format on a PowerPC target. I've certainly never heard of it being used. The a.out object file format is not powerful enough to support the TOC which is generally required for decent performance on the PowerPC. gcc does still support some a.out targets, but it has never supported an a.out target for the PowerPC.
