Modern power is little-endian, it appears that the old big-endian
power and powerpc used the elf v1 abi. That patch slipped off their
radar (big-endian ppc is barely encountered these days,
unfortunately) and only got committed 4 days ago so I guess that
nss-3.60 should be ok when it appears in about 5 weeks time.
