Seems to be back now.

I don't find any lwsync code in the eglibc patches.  Only a #ifdef to
replace eieio with mbar on powerpcspe.  Are these mnemonics nowadays
auto-replaced, too?  You're sure that the conversion is done by 'ld',
not by 'as'?

BTW had to throw in another patch that fixes an issue with the
's_fma.c'.

With the broken state of the archives this will take some time.  May
have to downgrade my system or hand-install packages.  Not even
'schroot' currently installs due to dependency problems :/
