No upstream bug has been filed and I haven't received any input/help 
from debian-powerpc porters.

As I'm not even sure if the issue is still valid on ppc, I'm going to 
close this issue as I don't think it makes sense to keep it open 
indefinitely.
If ppc porters want to chime in here and help debug this issue, we can 
reopen the bug report.
