$ powerpc64-linux-gcc --version
powerpc64-linux-gcc (GCC) 4.6.3
  ...
$ powerpc64-linux-gcc -O2 -c mulditi3.c
$ powerpc64-linux-objdump -d -r mulditi3.o
mulditi3.o:     file format elf64-powerpc

Disassembly of section .text:

$ 

i.e. for gcc 4.6.3, 64 bit powerpc calls out to __multi3

The same is true for sparc64.
