At present, the 4.0 branch doesn't bootstrap on powerpc-darwin8,
because libffi & libjava haven't been ported to ppc64 yet.
The most recent error message I get from the libjava build is...
symbolIndex(atom #142693)
from .libs/libgcj.la-1.o
ld64 failed: atom not found
which make it sound rather nasty. I don't know if this is an ld64 bug,
a codegen issue, or can be worked around with libtool fun.
Mike has done some work on the port, but it's not done yet, and even
if it was I don't know that it should go on the 4.0 branch before the
4.0.0 release.
If I can get it working on mainline, and those changes are safe for
4.0.0, I'll seek to move them there...
So, in the meantime, I propose this patch for the 4.0 branch.
I propose that we do this for mainline, and backport it to 4.0, as it
is a regression on mainline as well as 4.0.
I endorse the proposed change.
