7.0.* does not really work on PPC unless built with -O0.  I believe
this should happen automatically because of the contents of
src/template/linux_ppc, but perhaps that template didn't get selected
when you rebuilt?

The good news is that the underlying portability problem is (at long
last) fixed in current sources.  I've run successful regression tests
on a G3 with current sources and -O2.
