@subsection PowerPC Built-in Functions
+The following built-in functions are always available and can be used to
+check the PowerPC target platform type:
+
+@deftypefn {Built-in Function} void __builtin_cpu_init (void)
+This function is a @code{nop} on the PowerPC platform and is included solely
+to maintain API compatibility with the x86 builtins.
+@end deftypefn
+
+@deftypefn {Built-in Function} int __builtin_cpu_is (const char *@var{cpuname})
+This function returns a value of @code{1} if the run-time CPU is of type
+@var{cpuname} and returns @code{0} otherwise. The following CPU names can be
+detected:
+
+@table @samp
+@item power9
+IBM POWER9 Server CPU.
+@item power8
+IBM POWER8 Server CPU.
+@item power7
+IBM POWER7 Server CPU.
