This is a somewhat common problem with the ppc64 32UL. While the kernel is 64bit, the userland is 32bit. Some Makefiles or configure processes do a uname and draw an assumption from there. Does this package compile userland or kernel code or both?
It compiles a daemon (I imagine this would be the userland portion) and in some cases it will compile kernel modules. For example, the lirc-serial device would compile a kernel module (lirc-serial). The usb-uirt-raw device (which I am using) would not, as it is using the ftdi-sio kernel module already built into the kernel. It also compiles a client library, which would *definately* be 32-bit userland.
The lirc package make-system is from hell! I hope they get near using default kernel-module makefiles soon (as they try to get lirc somehow into the kernel).
I poked at this again. Given your input, I am wondering about the following. There seems to be a lot of configure input variables. I see ones for cross compiling etc. I'm wondering if you have bumped into one that would set the compiler for the kernel stuff. That is to say, can we ./configure and set the userland gcc and also set a different gcc for the kernel. Grasping at straws here. Also, I don't have a thorough understanding of the package and it's uses, but can we disable kernel module building (for serial) and only support usb as described in comment #2 ? something like if arch is ppc64 and tcarch is ppc64?

could someone with a 32bit userland please test lirc again? 2008.0 profiles fixed the issues I had on 64bit UL.
still fails. the exact same configure command outside of portage works as expected. the error is a different one though: C compiler cannot create executables.
I masked this package in arch/powerpc/ppc64/32ul/
