Re: [patch] Add "-lbfd -liberty" for "-lopcode" only on ppc/ppc64

[Wu Zhou <woodzltc at cn dot ibm dot com>]

Any comments on this patch?  It is frustrated to find that we can't  
build frysk on our platforms each time we check out the cvs tree.  :-)

We believe this is a general solution at this time, if we are still  
planning to use opcode in frysk.  Any long term dicision made on this?  
 Thanks.
