I finally found the main problem, Greg's bounded pointer work rendered 
sysdeps/powerpc/strchr.S unusable without bounded pointers. The build 
finishes now and make check passes nearly all tests. Since all the thread 
tests pass, I believe my threads patch is correct. For the rest of the 
failing tests I hopefully can take a look over the weekend.

Greg, my patch for strchr.S is probably not correct for the bounded pointer 
case, so please have a look again.

Franz.
