BTW how can I reproduce those crashes? No 'success' so far.

At least I didn't see anything PPC specific in the fix you posted.
In particular though, you should submit this in a bug against the Debian
xlibs package for it to be included there.
AFAIK the fix has already been applied to the XFree86 CVS trunk, so it
will be in the 4.2.0 release. Don't know about the 4.1 branch.
PS: No, you can't build only libXrender.
