I used to build PPC32 binaries for JDK 8u with debootstrapped sysroots and native cross-compiler:
  https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/master/doc/building.md#using-debian-debootstrap

I suspect openjdk-target should be "powerpc-linux-gnu"?

JDK 8 build system is often confused about compilers as well. I recommend configuring with 
explicitly set CC and CXX, i.e.:

  $ CC=... CXX... bash ./configure ...
