BTW, Franz said in a private mail that his work is greatly hindered by
not having decent hardware.  glibc is a beast and often complete
recompilations are needed.  I know that I usually do at 5 times a day or so.

If some parties who have who have interest in the PPC32 port could
provide some beefy hardware¹ he could use the time he has more
efficiently.  Franz is probably too shy to ask but I'm not.  I haven't
asked Franz whether he'd accept a loaner/gift but he now has the chance
to say so.  I know from all the mails I get when the PPC port is broken
that there are many commercial users of the PPC port.  Those should
examine their conscience at see whether they are not feeling a bit guilty.


¹ I have no idea what "beefy" is in PPC-land.  I can compile glibc in
less than 10 mins on x86 and Hammer.
