Hi! I don't know what I did, maybe some things I had to add to the build systems, who knows, but it seems to work now. I can tell for sure it works on PowerPC and PowerPC64. I still have problems to get the whole thing built on Alpha, which is also a floating point problem, but that's another story... - twisti
