I think this is a problem of tcsh. It is not present in bash. It comes
from the fact is that RedHat thinks the only linux on ppc is mklinux.
You get VENDOR=apple, too.
Below is a patch for tcsh-6.08.00-5. I hope the linuxppc developers put
something like this in R5. (Of course, the "vendor" could be left empty,
giving "unknown", or be replaced by "BlueCat" or something similar).
