We see a regression with PowerPC's ppc64e_defconfig, using GCC 8 and GCC 12:
-----8<-----
powerpc64le-linux-gnu-gcc: error: missing argument to '-mcpu='
powerpc64le-linux-gnu-gcc: error: missing argument to '-mcpu='
make[2]: *** [/builds/linux/arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile:237: arch/powerpc/boot/crt0.o] Error 1

[...]
make[2]: Target 'arch/powerpc/boot/zImage' not remade because of errors.
make[1]: *** [/builds/linux/arch/powerpc/Makefile:247: zImage] Error 2
make[1]: Target '__all' not remade because of errors.
make: *** [Makefile:242: __sub-make] Error 2
make: Target '__all' not remade because of errors.
----->8-----

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
