Re: [RFC] Qemu powerpc work around

[Jerone Young <jyoung5@us.ibm.com>]

This works better. Not sure why but when I had fake-exec in target-ppc,
the build system was complaining that it could not find fake-exec.d. So
then I just decided to move it to fake-exec-ppc.c. 

This patch works fine for powerpc.
