package/gcc: fix powerpc toolchain issues with 64-bit capable cores

Browse Source 
Some of the powerpc CPUs supported by Buildroot are dual mode CPUs,
which means 32 Bit and 64 Bit mode is supported, and for any 64-bit
capable CPU, GCC defaults to using 64-bit, even if the toolchain tuple
starts with powerpc-* (and not powerpc64-*). This causes issues when
building toolchains with uClibc or musl.

In order to resolve this, we force GCC to understand we want to
generate 32-bit code, using the --with-cpu-32 option.

See here the gcc documentation for details about --with-cpu-32:
https://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html

See here for a discussion on the musl mailinglist about the error:
https://inbox.vuxu.org/musl/20220722162900.GB1320090@port70.net/
