There is no difference.
If you do a 'windiff' of use another compare-program, you will see that both
of them are identical to the last bit.

As to the 'why?', I have no answer.
I think that the power-pc-unknown-eabi-* can be used by the user directly,
and those found in /usr/local/powerpc-unknown-eabi/bin are used by GCC in
its sub-processes.
But, again, i am not sure.

Maybe it is something that has grown into this structure over time.

Best regards,
jan
