I've gotten it to compile several times, but when the patch goes into cvs, something screws it up. More anon. daybird@gentoo.org 2002-06-10 12:04:18 0000 OK, I turned on my brain and compressed the patch. It now patches and compiles on ppc. Thanks for the bug report, Stan - sorry it took a few days to fix.
