I've only just started trying to get Debian/PPC working locally, so take
this with a grain of salt, but from what I gather the lack of binaries
for glibc, and the lack of the approriate source to compile it are an
oversight rather than a deliberate action.
I've been pointed to
ftp://powerpc.debian.org/pub/Linux/linux-ppc/debian/
which contains .deb's for glibc and sundry other stuff.
I haven't had a chance to install it yet [I don't have "ar" on my
system at the moment, even :(]

As far as I understand it, the current version of glibc doesn't work
on powerpc (or sparc?), and that's making things a touch difficult. :)
HTH, etc.
