https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-8/changes.html reports:

	=E2=80=A2 Support for the powerpc*-*-*spe* target ports which =
have been recently unmaintained and untested in GCC has been declared =
obsolete in GCC 8 as announced here. Unless there is activity to revive =
them, the next release of GCC will have their sources permanently =
removed.


Side note: Mixed with clang's powerpc family status for buildworld,
such as ignoring __builtin_eh_return so that thrown C++ exceptions
will not work for the world so built, powerpc*-*-*spe* looks to
have a substantial toolchain problems going forward.
