binutils can be built do support multiple targets, so you can use
the normal 'split' for powerpc binaries also. You have just to add
'--enable-targets=powerpc-unknown-linux' to binutils's ./configure.

Alternatively, you can create a 'strip' symlink to 'powerpc-linux-strip' in
a special directory and put this directory on top of $PATH before you call
'rpmbuild'.
