Re: Call for port reports

I can't certify the following platform because it doesn't recognize our
spinlock code.  Would you run src/tools/ccsym and report back the
symbols you have.  Do you not have __powerpc__ defined?

The actual test in s_lock.h is:
#if defined(__ppc__) || defined(__powerpc__) || defined(__powerpc64__)

but src/include/port/linux.h only tests for the last two --- this is a
mismatch we are going to clean up for 7.5, but I need to know what your
compiler defines.
