Yes, but that was on 32-bit PPC using the gcc toolchain. If I remember =
it correctly,
it worked on 64-bit PPC. So it was a 32-bit specific problem and I go =
some feedback
that the problem might be related to the old toolchain.

This time it is on 64-bit PPC using the clang tool chain. Since the =
Blackbird used
petitboot, I'm not sure if it is intended to work on that platform. Also =
not
sure on the Mac G5.

Best regards
