Just to clarify what very recent means:
For ppc32 and s390 just very recent CVS or RH binutils and
e.g. CVS trunk gcc (for s390 gcc-3.3-rh as well) is enough.
For s390x, you need a fixed kernel (see a thread on siginfo_t size
yesterday on lkml).
For ppc64, you need a not yet built gcc (posted a gcc-3_2-rhl8-branch
patch yesterday to gcc-patches).
