I've now tried to fix that too long lasting problem.

1) attach the patch below

2) mv config/gen/platform/darwin/asm.s jit/ppc

3) perl Configure.pl --nomanicheck  # or fix MANIFEST

This might cause trouble for ppc-aix, because the asm function is
included via a different mechanism too.

Tested on OS X only. If that works, cleanup (MANIFEST, aix) can follow.
