powerpc:
	Make small lib from /usr/lib/libm_pic.a in
	/var/tmp/boot-floppies/root-tmp-23050/lib/libm-2.1.2.so. /usr/bin/ld:
	read in flex scanner failed collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
	/usr/local/src/boot-floppies/scripts/rootdisk/mklibs.sh:
	install-small-lib: gcc or objcopy failed.
	make: *** [rootprep.bin] Error 1
	beef:/usr/local/src/boot-floppies#

I'm putting in my disable code for now, since the library reduction is not
necessary with the split boot/root scheme.  I see 140k or so free on the
rootdisk so powerpc is safe with no reduction.
