I've been waiting ages for decent threads on PowerPC.
There's a glibc bug about it, with a way-too-low
priority. What gives?
If this has something to do with a Debian release,
well, just don't release PowerPC in that case.
It's not ready if it still uses the horrid old
pre-NPTL threads.
BTW, gcc-

Besides mac-fdisk and dd, what works for a Mac?
With the bearings on my disk about to die, I might
only get one chance to make a second bootable disk.
In the Mac Cube, I have a 20 GB IDE disk with
both MacOS 9.1 and some ext2 Linux partitions.
The physical and logical partition order don't
match;

No kidding. IMHO, this is just plain wrong. :-)
I added an "unstable" line to /etc/apt/sources.lst
so that I could get support for Linux 2.5.xx kernel
modules, which forced a glibc upgrade as well.
Then I booted into 2.5.62 with oprofile hacked in.
(using linuxppc-2.5 source)
