I don't have time but we could help you track it down if you want to
try debugging.


Andrew Haley tracked it down to the lack of libffi support for powerpc
soft-float.  Michael Koch thought that Andreas Tobler (CC:ed) might have
an idea or even some patches.

Do you have a real use case for this? I can try to add soft float support to libffi ppc (32-bit) But I need a motivating factor ;)


How about: It would be fun to implement this?

Not that it is the canonical libffi implementation, but the MIPS port supports both hard and soft float ABIs. Feel free use it as a model for the PPC soft-float implementation.
