The only problem I have found so far with PDT is that the kernel  
module shipped with the SDK does not install with a ps3-linux kernel  
(not even with module versioning enabled).  And I doubt that the  
kernel distributed with the SDK works on a PS3, nor I want to try.   
(Other than that, I assume it works fine but I haven't tried it yet.)
