> You can't download it because PPA doesn't support PPC architecture.
I went to the deb-src URL ([0] and [1]) directly, and use wget to download the
source (the .tar.gz and .diff.gz). In the makefile, ppc arch is supported (so
does ppc64). Not sure what do you mean by: PPA doesn't support PPC architecture.

1) what does -fno-stack-protector do? Is it required for ppc and ppc64?
2) If so, we should add this option to the makefile for ppc64 (ppc always has
this option).
In any case, I add this option to fgetty (not to dietlibc), and changed
CROSS to ppu- in both Makefiles. fgetty works great. Thanks!
FYI, here is memory comparison:
before login:
VIRT RES SHR
getty: 1864 612 544
fgetty: 120 28 12
after login:
getty: getty is gone, but login stays, with about 1200k memory
fgetty: both fgetty and login are gone.
So basically, for each tty, fgetty saves about half mega memory before
login, saves 1M after login. Ubuntu comes with 6 ttys by default. So
that is 3M, 6M respectively. This is significant savings for PS3.
We should makes this as the default for PS3, unless someone seems a drawback...
