Out of curiosity, do you run the slow x86 tests after every commit? After every batch of commits? Weekly? Please let us know if we can help set up the PowerPC stuff; it's pretty important to us to avoid these sorts of problems in the future. We have tried to write fairly comprehensive build directions at http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/PowerPC_Source and runtime information at http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki/PowerPC_Run . -- Hollis Blanchard IBM Linux Technology Center
