Re: Fix powerpc-nofpu __fe_enabled_env and __fe_nonieee_env (bug 17261)

That's ok, thanks. 

Not really related to this patch, I see most of no-fpu code in GLIBC is
focused towards e500.  Do you know if it is 'de facto' no-fpu powerpc ABI
or just a variation?  I'm asking because I am feeling inclined, if e500
is just an possible variation, to try cleanup up nofpu code to put e500
specific code in a e500 folder.
