Cool - thanks *Jérémy Lal*. The Ubuntu builds have the PowerPC code merged
in here:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+source/libv8-3.14/3.14.5.8-5ubuntu2

As you probably know - I've got a libv8 branch here:
https://github.com/andrewlow/v8ppc/tree/libv8-3.14

However, *Marco Dac* is building on a G4 based chip - this is not yet
supported in our main code streams. He'll need to look at the slightly
behind https://github.com/andrewlow/v8ppc/tree/g4compat branch.

Also, it sounds like Marco is trying to build Node.js with V8 statically
linked in. There is a little bit of magic here most of which you'll find in
this patch done by the node folks
https://github.com/andrewlow/node/commit/e2385839d7bde937334e34da082293cae877fe2f

If you look through the git log you'll find the v8 patches applied etc, as
Node will backport some changes into the older stream they have in deps.

The easier way to get running is to build v8 as a shared library pass
"library=shared" along on the make command line.

Then for Node - you need to pass --shared-v8 into ./configure and probably
also --shared-v8-libpath to point to where it is.  You may need to also set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH depending on where the libv8 is installed.
