Note, while we host the egcs machines (and provide a number of compiler
hackers), EGCS != Cygnus. EGCS is netwide and has people from many different
organizations (including most of the developers from the FSF GCC, and many more
developers that were never part of the FSF).

Note, this means any code that passes long long should have both the caller and
callee recompiled with the same compiler.

That doesn't affect PowerPC Linux right now, since the only 64-bit ppc target
is AIX based (there are a number of issues like gas/ld support, and machine
availability before it will matter to Linux/PPC).
