Well, I'm on x86_64, and it definitely works. As Andreas suggests,
this issue might be limited to building on i386...
And as PPC is not something I use, I can only mostly rely on external
contribs... :-/

When comparing a ARM toolchain and a powerpc one, I noticed that the
ARM toolchain had a linker script in:
./armeb-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi/armeb-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi/...
.../sys-root/lib/libgcc_s.so

which is missing in the PPC case.

I'll look a bit deeper into this a bit later today (maybe not before
tonight, though...) I'm setting up a 32-bit env here, and will see
if I can get some more insight on the problem...

Yann E. MORIN.
