Why was it withdrawn? Was it superseded by another patch?
As you present it, this patch is supposed to fix a mis-compilation
for PowerPC, but it touches only generic files, and no PowerPC files.

Following the discussion in that thread explains why this patch is not

that solved the issue?

Seemed the same as your previous submission. Already applied.

That patch won't go in. It's wrong, as per the thread you pointed to.

So do you! :-) Thank you!
