Hi Michał,

I don't have a 32-bit powerpc system available for you to use, but you
should be able to run lldb just fine on the FreeBSD powerpc64 Qemu
recipe.  Do you need a 32-bit kernel, or just 32-bit userland?

If you need a 32-bit kernel, I have successfully run FreeBSD on a
Book-E qemu, so if you can build a MPC85XX kernel, you can run in that.
