We see a regression with PowerPC's ppc64e_defconfig, using GCC 8 and GCC 12:

Bisection points to "powerpc/boot: Don't always pass -mcpu=powerpc when building 32-bit uImage" (upstream ff7c76f66d8bad4e694c264c789249e1d3a8205d).

Reproducer:
tuxmake \
--runtime podman \
--target-arch powerpc \
--toolchain gcc-8 \
--kconfig ppc64e_defconfig \
config debugkernel dtbs kernel modules xipkernel
