Oh, what is the reason?

Yes, it is known that Callgrind sometimes is completely wrong regarding calls
and returns on PPC{32/64}, as well as on the newly introduced ARM support in
the upcoming 3.6.0 (see bug 252091 for the ARM bug report,
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=252091).
The reason are some hardcoded assumptions which only are true on x86/amd64.
Can you open a similar bug report for PPC32 for this, describing the problems
you see?
It does not really have something to do with PThreads, as far as I can see.
Thanks,
Josef
