In Linux architecture terms, this isn't a regular PowerPC but PowerPCSPE, as it has a non-standard FPU. This means that classic PowerPC FPU instructions are not supported, or supported only with kernel emulation. It's also entirely incompatible with regular applications using Altivec or VMX SIMD, as the instruction encoding overlaps. It could also mean that the syscall ABI *could* be different to regular PowerPCs. I don't know if it is, but could be. Free Pascal doesn't support PPCSPE CPUs officially (we always generate classic FPU code for memory copies for example, and the PPC code generator doesn't support the SPE FPU or the softfpu at this point), so at least we should verify if your patch doesn't cause problems on regular PPC Linux installations, or if this bug also exist there.
