Build failure on GNU/Linux ppc64

[Jérôme Marant]

Hi,

The current CVS trunk fails to build on Debian GNU/Linux ppc64, and its
seems to have been the case for few months.

With the following options:

CFLAGS="-DDEBIAN -g -Wno-pointer-sign -O2" ./configure --build 
powerpc64-linux-gnu --host powerpc64-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr 
--sharedstatedir=/var/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --localstatedir=/var 
--infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --with-pop=yes 
--enable-locallisppath=/etc/emacs-snapshot:/etc/emacs:/usr/local/share/emacs/22.0.50/site-lisp:/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp:/usr/share/emacs/22.0.50/site-lisp:/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp:/usr/share/emacs/22.0.50/leim
 --with-x=yes --with-x-toolkit=athena --with-toolkit-scroll-bars

The build ends with:

----------

Andreas, since you worked on the port, do you have any idea? It used to
work with a different toolchain (currently gcc 4.0 instead of 3.4)

Thanks in advance.
