Sounds good to me.
I've resurrected the ppc account I had and have run the tests on there.
As Jonathan previously reported there are a lot of raidfile failures.
However, they only occur on the release tests - the debug tests all
pass.
It is in fact the same compiler bug I found last time I ported box to
ppc. Only then gcc was approx. version 3.3.2 and now it's 4.0. This is
Debian Linux on a ppc64 but compiling ppc32 bit code.
Forcing RaidFileWrite.cpp to -O0 or applying this handy patch makes
everything pass:

pparity[sizePos+0] = pstripe1[sizePos+0] ^ psize[0];
pparity[sizePos+1] = pstripe1[sizePos+1] ^ psize[1];
Any thoughts on we should do about this?
Cheers,
Martin.
