Build failure on specific PPC systems

2011-08-24 Thread James Vega
Since at least 4.2.4, Racket has been failing to build[0][1] for Debian on G5-based PowerPC systems[2][3]. At the time, the only other PowerPC system that was available within Debian to debug on was a G4-based system[4]. On that system, Racket has been building fine using either the 3m or cgc GC.
