distribution for linux / ppc?

Dear all

I am using Linux/PPC and wish to use amaya. My distribution didn't 
provide a package for amaya (gentoo linux), in such case I usually 
compile from source manually. But I failed with amaya source 
distribution. It had been several months ago, I only had the impression 
it was because assembly code was included and couldn't compile to local 
machine code.

Is there build options or distribution (even better, binary distribution 
with related libraries statically compiled in) available I can use?

Thanks in advance. Google search didn't get me the right distribution.

Best regards
