I agree. My previous patch was mostly intended to show what needed to
be turned off for powerpc. I'd somehow got it in my head that it was
the maintianer that had asked for help on -powerpc, and so completely
missed that the package was orphaned. Because of that, I thought that
the maintainer would be better suited to fixing it to only affect ppc.
Here's an alternate patch for debian/config.fb. I've used it to do
builds on powerpc and i386. With this version vgaplan4.o isn't built on
powerpc, but is on i386 (and should be on other architectures).

The only difference between a car salesman and a computer salesman is
that the car salesman knows he's lying.
