Ah ...
Well, this bug report was done by the (two ?) guys from the unofficial ppc64 project
at alioth, and they have their own need, maybe. I speak as a powerpc porter
interested in ppc64 biarch support, and involved with other ppc64 guys.
Now, i tried to build ppc64 kernels with make-kpkg and a cross compiler, and i
was hit by the exact same bug, and i believe that Tollef's multi-arch support
would also have need of it.
The official arch name is ppc64 though, at least from the kernel developer's
side.
