As far as basic usage goes, this is fixed. If you feel up to it, you
can try to track down the "umove: Input/output error" in tracing mmap()
calls. And if you really feel that courageous, I invite you to look at
ltrace (similar program, traces shared library calls).
Both of those problems require a fairly good understanding of the
powerpc and possibly intel architectures.

I've got that here somewhere... it wasn't too hard to fix.
The porblem is source/include/includes.h, which undefines and redefines
strcpy and friends. But strcpy is used by the str*() macros in glibc
2.1. There's no other good solution but to remove those three
redefinitions entirely, as far as I can see. Talk to the maintainer or
upstream about that I suppose.

Hopefully so; moving ggi over is a little convoluted though (I spent a
few days trying to make it use my framebuffer; gave up).

Good luck.

Dale will release it in a few days, hopefully. gmp2 is being
completely redone.
