glibc 2.2 fails on PowerPC

I get the following error when compiling glibc 2.2 on PowerPC:

In file included from ../sysvipc/sys/msg.h:29,
                 from ../include/sys/msg.h:1,
                 from ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/msgsnd.c:22:
../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/msq.h:53: field `msg_perm' has incomplete type
make[2]: *** [/tmp/build-glibc/sysvipc/msgsnd.o] Error 1

The problem is that there's no struct __old_ipc_perm for PowerPC.
Either this has to be added to
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/bits/ipc.h or powerpc needs its own
version of <bits/msq.h>.

Could one of the PowerPC developers fix this, please?

Thanks,
Andreas
