I do have the vague feeling that besides ix86, sparc, sparc64 and mips
the other ports aren't maintained that well.  If e.g. PowerPC doesn't
build, I'm not surprised at all.  I'd appreciate if people would help
testing glibc on the various platforms.  

I'll give glibc myself a try next week on Alpha and PowerPC - but only
do this every odd month.
