This filename is common_linuxapp_powerpc, but given that it explicitly specifies
all the build options, there isn't really anything common about it.  I think
what you want to do is rename this defconfig_powerpc-native-linuxapp-gcc, and
have it include common_linuxapp, then change any power-specific option you see
fit.

Also, does BSD build on power?  I presume so. You likely want to create a
corresponding bsd power config
