Not yet, I will post an announcement here as soon as I get around to making
a base tar file. I still need to get a dpkg .deb built before that can be
done.

PowerPC Linux has always used libc6, MkLinux and LinuxPPC are still using
GNU libc 1.99, in Debian unstable for powerpc, we're using a GNU libc 2.1
snapshot, which is more up to date WRT the libc6 other Debian ports are
using.
