It's a fully 64 bits setup as it seems ? That is rather inefficient. Have we any proper way of doing multiarch setups ? The "proper" way to do ppc64 is to have both archs libs and 32 bits userland for most things, as ppc64 native code is slightly slower. I have repeated that over and over again but it seems I have been ignored so far... Also make sure the compiler is biarch as the kernel build will soon require this.
