Hi Simon,

no, I did not see this before. Unfortunately (for me) it looks like it
is llvm-based so, it is wildly out of our possibilities. We only have
a vanilla gcc-3.4.3 for our PPC target. So I'll have pull it off
myself. Anyway, I'll have a look into those patches in a calm hour.

Thanks and cheers,
