Comment:

 PowerPC isn't a tier 1 [wiki:Platforms platform], so we rely on the
 community to fix any arch specific problems in the registerised build.
 Unregisterised builds should work, though.

 Predicting platform-specific build problems in configure is tricky,
 because we aren't able to test them, so we just end up with lots of
 platforms that configure thinks don't work but actually do work, or vice-
 versa.

 We're not going to fix this ourselves, and anyone likely to will run into
 it themselves, so I'm closing this ticket.
