It's not entirely clear which version of GPSBabel is in question here.

Can you provide an account on failing systems and/or someone able &
willing to drive a debugger.

GPSBabel requires pretty true IEEE math units and might get tripped
up in minor rounding error.
We regularly test PPC via OS/X, so I doubt there's anything inherently
unique to PPC (i.e. endianness) but sometimes stuff can sneak up on us.

This looks like a timezone problem I fixed in psitrext back in Oct of 03
but it might be needed the 'FREEZE_TIME' fix I applied in April of 04.

There's an alpha/debian system on compilefarm.sf.net. I just checked
out the top of the tree and ran
make LIBUSB= INHIBIT_USB=-DNO_USB
(Apparently this system doesn't have libusb installed)

With access to an alpha, I see that problem and have a preliminary fix
in hand. Give me a day or two for an Official Fix.
For discussions sake, is <stdint.h> (yes, I know it's technically a
C99-ism) considered fair game in the world of portability now?

This is something in the MXF format. I don't see that on Alpha. My gut
tells me it's another silly sizeof(something) problem.
