Click on a PowerPC platform: has anyone succesfully done it ?

[Douglas S. J. De Couto]

can you show us the config?  perhaps the config being generated is bogus?

click does run well on other architectures, e.g. strongarm, which 
require alignment.  but the strongarm runs in littleendian mode jsut 
like i386 --- what is your powerpc doing?
