What kind of hardware would it actually run on? Macs, I assume and
probably
some other, more obscure stuff, right (like IBMs >;o)? Maybe we
should just
go with 'apple' or 'unknown'?

What does Linux there? Maybe just have powerpc-powerpc-beos?

I have seen powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu only. Be chose powerpc-be-beos and powerpc-apple-beos. I guess we'll run mainly on Apple hardware, and probably also on a few of those Pegasos boards. So both "apple" and "unknown" make some sense. We can, of course, go with different machine strings for different hardware, e.g. "powerpc-apple-haiku" (Macs), "powerpc-pegasos-haiku" (Pegasos), "powerpc-be-haiku" (BeBox, if ever supported). Most checks will be for powerpc-*-haiku then.
