Looks to me like ppc and ppc64 are deprecated and "phased out" in favour of powerpc. If you look at the contents of both the include/asm-ppc and include/asm-powerpc directories over the last revisions for example, you'll see files moving from asm-ppc to asm-powerpc. Now, they are in a kind of flux still, so you'll probably find yourself doing silly things like "ln -s include/asm-powerpc/* include/asm-ppc/" to keep things working and compiling nicely. I do hope this is over soon. Greetings, -- David Jander
