1) bsd.own.mk sets NOPROFILE for the powerpc, but if you remove that
and build something with profiling, you get results that look
perfectly believable.
2) src/{domestic/,}libexec/ftpd/Makefile turns off optimization on the
powerpc "to prevent a core dump in cc1". If you remove that and
compile with optimization, it builds fine, and basic testing
doesn't turn up any problems with the resulting executable
Both of these hacks date to 1997. I'm guessing egcs fixed the relevant
problems. Does anyone know any reason I shouldn't revert both of them?
(Particularly Jason, since you're the one who put both of them in.)
