I'm using a buildroot toolchain from bootlin:
https://toolchains.bootlin.com/releases_powerpc64le-power8.html

If it is more common to have "gnu" in the prefix,
no problem to change it in this patch.
I can create "gnu" symbolic links in my toolchain.

Ideally I would like to have an option to specify the toolchain prefix
with meson, instead of hardcoding it in a cross file.
