Something else I noted. I remembered I had binutils 2.18 installed too:
$ binutils-config -l
 [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.20.1 *

 [2] powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu-2.16.1
 [3] powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu-2.18 *

and I can select it but

 CHOST=powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu \
 ROOT=/usr/powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu \
 binutils-config -l

 Using binutils-config info in /usr/powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu/
  [1] powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu-2.16.1 *

Only shows 2.16.1

...

 CHOST=powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu binutils-config -l
  [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.20.1 *
  [2] powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu-2.16.1
  [3] powerpc-softfloat-linux-gnu-2.18 *

Shows both though(why is i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.20.1?)
