I've found this a very useful document for learning about
PowerPC assembly and code generation:

PowerPC Compiler Writer's Guide 

This book describes, mainly by coding examples, the code
patterns that perform well on PowerPC. processors. The book
will be particularly helpful to compiler developers and
application-code specialists who are already familiar with
optimizing compiler technology and are looking for ways to
exploit the PowerPC architecture. It will also be helpful
to application programmers who need to understand and tune
the output of PowerPC compilers and to faculty members and
graduate students specializing in the study of compilers.
