We'll just have to see about this once we get a usable system.

Aint it though...try upgrading to binutils-2.8.1 in your toolchain sometime
and see where it dies.  2.8.1 considers this a fatal error but 2.7 only a
warning.

symbol seems to be __PPC__.  Just remember to set it in the environment
variable CFLAGS  (CPPFLAGS?) in advance.
