Yeah, I was just asking myself the same question after seeing your patch
on the list as the kernel package builds fine on Debian's powerpc port [1].

However, the powerpc Debian package always builds a 64-bit kernel image
as well in order to be able to use a 32-bit userland on a 64-bit kernel
when the hardware is capable of 64-bit. So, your guess above might actually
be true, but I haven't tested it.

What I do know is that "ld" is definitely not available on PowerPC e500
while "lwz" is available, see 3-68 in the e500 reference manual [2].

Thanks for the quick fix!

Adrian
