After some poking around, I found out that FZICV subroutine is used  
to convert little endian to big endian data. The latter is the  
CERNLIB default for the internal data handling. As the PPC platform  
is big endian (in contrast to the i386), this routine is not  
compiled. I guess you could just define a dummy routine to satisfy  
the linker. However, you might need to look into the big endian vs  
little endian issue more carefully.
