Hello,

Maybe a flag problem..
As I was looking the overflow flag calculation, while trying to fix it
in my PPC emulation, I noticed that this flag should be masked with (1
<< 31) to be correct.
Fabrice, could you confirm this point ?
It seems to work well in my PPC code...

It may also comes from the fact that the qemu Elf loader builds a
"buggy" stack. I don't known anything about the ABI for the ARM, but I
noticed that the stack wasn't aligned properly on PPC and that some
informations were missing, but I don't really know if those infos are
vital or not. 
Even in x86 emulation, the stack is really different from the one built
by the Linux kernel (I compared with a linux-2.4.21 kernel).
I fixed some crashes, changing this code to do the same as the kernel,
but dynamic x86 loading is now buggy with that patch...

Regards.
