GCC for Debian's "powerpcspe" architecture only supports 32-bit
SPE targets, and using -mcpu=powerpc or -mcpu=powerpc64 is a fatal
error.

* Change the test for a biarch compiler to pass both the -m32 and -m64
  options, so that it doesn't catch 32-bit-only compilers
* Add an ifdef CONFIG_PPC64 around the 64-bit CPU option definitions

I don't see where your patch touches -mcpu=powerpc, and I don't see how
it would make a difference either?

How can CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3S_64 be true while CONFIG_PPC64 is fals?  That
does not make a lot of sense.

Look at the assignments that are conditional on HAS_BIARCH.

But there is an "else" part here.

[ I now see that error fwiw.  Yuck. ]

Sure, you change how HAS_BIARCH is set.  That has more effects than just
not using -mcpu=powerpc (which is fine, but the message is confusing).

Yeah I see.  It would be better to have fewer nested conditionals here
instead of more...
