I'd intended to get to the other machines eventually, though to leave the
testing to machine maintainers and get their approval before committing.
But if you want to do the legwork for powerpc, please do!
I think these are the steps you'll need to do to mirror what I've done for
x86_64 so far:
1. Merge vfork.S code; remove pt-vfork.S entirely.
2. Merge clone.S code.
3. Merge Makefile and Versions files.
4. Move bits/local_lim.h to sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/
5. Move bits/{pthreadtypes,semaphore}.h to sysdeps/powerpc/nptl/.
6. Move everything else to sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/
Thanks,
Roland
