Just a suggestion: One could try to compile a "main = return ()" program
on an powerpc machine, run "strace -e timer_create -v ./test" and
compare that to the output on malo (by sending the binary to the admins
and ask them to run the program if you don’t have access).

On bruckner, sid chroot, I get:
timer_create(0xfffffffa /* CLOCK_??? */, {(nil), SIGVTALRM, SIGEV_SIGNAL, 
{...}}, {(nil)}) = 0
(which is identical to what I get on i386)

If the parameters to timer_create differ on malo, something might be
strange about glibc, if they are the same, then the kernel seems to
differ, and if it works on both, the problem lies somewhere else :-)

Of course I can do that as well, if you think it’s worth a try.

Greetings,
Joachim
