I had a short glance at the alleged segfault and cannot reproduce it
with a pristine checkout built with -O0 -g3 -ggdb3 on the PPC box and
running that 32bit binary on the PPC64 box.

If this turns out to be a problem at higher optimization-levels, i
suggest you talk to the redhat guys about this, fwiw. I've been bitten
by redhat compilers miscompiling for loops on a so called advanced
server lately even on i386, so the possibility that redhat's ppc
compiler does stuff differently than one would expect is something i
would not exactly be surprised about..

anyway.
HTH and kind regards,
