Building the powerpc archive on a machine having ppc64 in its uname output.
Hi Sven, hi all,
First of all, sorry for mixing discussions about buildd relocation and
usability buildds with the "ppc64" string in their uname for building
the powerpc port in the future. I have now separated the threads
accordingly. Good luck to Voltaire in his trip.

I have just looked at the buildd information of Ubuntu, and it seems
that they use only G3/G4 machines:
https://launchpad.net/+builds/royal
https://launchpad.net/+builds/adare
https://launchpad.net/+builds/ross
Or am I just confused and they meant that they build *for* G3/G4 ?
Have a nice day,
