Ohhh, I didn't even notice ohw.diff in pc-bios/ despite looking for one! I'll try to dig that one on gmane.org.

Even after pointing it to find our stdint.h and endian.h (WTF does it need OS headers to build a BIOS =3F=3F=3F). It seems to be doing nasty things with m4 macros on C headers, really ugly. > > and it see[m]s CoreBoot v2 and v3 don't support ppc yet. > > I believe CoreBoot is unrelated to ppc, it replaces the x86 BIOS.

CoreBoot actually supports more arch than just x86: http://www.coreboot.org/Supported=5FChipsets=5Fand=5FDevices But only v1 seemed to have ppc support. Fran=E7ois.
