Been busy, so just an update. My jessie is "probably" broken in some way
I cannot imagine, but not ready to do a fresh install.
When I have a better internet connection I will do the dist-upgrade (and
maybe end at 8.5 rather than "stretch/sid"

After the updates I mentioned earlier ./bootstrap churns along but ends
with:

I was curious about a PPC64 Debian and any wget build problems
installation.
So I installed PPC64 Debian Jessie (8.5) in a VM from a netinstall.
After installation, I had not problems at all (adding the packages from
README.checkout).
Here is what I did:
# fresh install of Debian 8.5 PPC64
# added <user> during installation
Well, my jessie - is unknown - only that I have two (7.X and 8.X).
With AIX I am using AIX 5.3 TL7 which was "new" in 2010 (roughly). I
make use of AIX binary compatibility.
My netinst image for jessie is dated 1 May 2015 - when I downloaded
it. Did not, unfortunately, store it with version info in it the
filename.

a) glad to hear it will work
b) still "sad" ;) that it may take a fresh install to get a successful
bootstrap.
Thanks for the encouragement!
Michael
p.s. was at 8.0, now at stretch/sid (cat /etc/debian_version)
(whatever that means, trying reboot, then apt-get dist-upgrade)
