I have still one problem: Recognizing the PowerPC architecture.
Currently the corresponding section in our configuration files looks like:

PROCESSOR=`${UNAME} -m`

  if test `echo $PROCESSOR|${CUT} -c3` = ppc ; then
    ARCHITECTURE=ppc32
    BINFMT=Linux-ppc32
  fi
  if test `echo $PROCESSOR` = ppc64 ; then
    ARCHITECTURE=ppc64
    BINFMT=Linux-ppc64
  fi

Unfortunately I am not sure if I got the names right, i.e. I dont
know if uname differs between the 32 and 64 bit processors.
Could some of the PPC users please send me the corresponding uname
output?

The code above causes a build failure in 32-bit powerpc, the uname -m
output in this case is 'ppc'. The attached patch fixed this for me.

I also built ballview on a 6-month old (i.e. fast) pc, but it seems
really slow, the screen update is something like 0.3 FPS. I have an
intel graphics card with DRI enabled and other opengl apps work ok.
Any idea what might be wrong?
