excellent. I love PowerPC.  :-)

On other fronts I have been working for days to get ppl to compile and
pass its own basic testsuite on Solaris ( i386 and Sparc ) and thus far
all attempts have failed. I have been in contact with Roberto Bagnara and
I have his next release candidate on my systems ( at Blastwave.org Inc. )
and I am sure we will work it out and then get GCC 4.5.2 ( RC or otherwise
) up and running. This will be a week of work at least however. :-\
