You make no mention of what svn or git branch and version of the
FreeBSD source is being compiled, no output from svnlite or git
indicating such.

You do not show anything like the "uname -apKU" output for the
context doing the build.

Looks to me like ${MACHINE_CPUARCH} == "powerpc" got -fPIC
in sys/conf/kmod.mk in svn path=/head/; revision=356114 
at 2019-12-27 04:07:51 +0000.

-mcall-aixdesc is older then that if I understand right.

But a G3 means 32-bit powerpc is doing the build while you
are targeting something under:

/usr/obj/usr/src/powerpc.powerpc64/

So it is a form of cross-build (not even a self-hosted limiting
condition one: one that produces incompatible code). You give
no details of how you set up the cross-build.

My guess is the cross-build attempt is using compiler option
combinations that would work in a native powerpc64 environment
but not with the 32-bit powerpc toolchain that is in use. Or:
the build might have mixed the 32-bit context options and the
powerpc64 context options by having some tests that incorrectly
tests host context vs. target context for choosing options.
