Comment(by erikd):

 Actually, I think it should not be applied in it's current state as it
 break darwin-powerpc (32 unexpected failures before the patch, 38 after).

 I'm working on an updated version of the patch, which only fixes linux-
 powerpc) that I should have ready by the end of the week.
