There is a slight variation:
using ABI="32"
      CC="gcc"
      CFLAGS="-O2 -pedantic -mpowerpc"
      CPPFLAGS=""
      MPN_PATH=" powerpc32 generic"

"-maix32" is missing.

I have the same issue when building in a separate object directory.

I used:
/hpc/work/fernandz/gnusrc/gmp-4.4.-1-20090526/configure
--prefix=$PREFIXGNU --build=none
(ABI="32" made the configure fail with: configure: error: ABI=32 is not
among the following valid choices: long longlong).

The configure output:
using ABI="long"
      CC="gcc"
      CFLAGS="-O2 -pedantic"
      CPPFLAGS="-DNO_ASM"
      MPN_PATH="  generic"

All tests passed. However, for some reason, I do require ABI="32".

I did further testing using 64bit mode:
/hpc/work/fernandz/gnusrc/gmp-4.4.-1-20090526/configure
--prefix=$PREFIXGNU

using ABI="aix64"
      CC="gcc"
      CFLAGS="-O2 -maix64 -mpowerpc64"
      CPPFLAGS=""
      MPN_PATH=" powerpc64/mode64  powerpc64 generic"

then make check also fails:
