That test passes for me. I'm slightly curious about what exactly it's 
doing and why it's there, but have never looked into it.

...
checking whether objcopy works for absolute addresses... yes
...

objcopy --version says "GNU objcopy 2.15" for me.

For a temporary fix, you can apply the patch I sent out 19 Feb 2005, in 
a mail titled "PPC build fixes."

However as you can see from that thread, there is one more addition I 
need to make before I can commit the patch, and I won't have time for 
that tonight. So it will be at least another day or two before CVS will 
build for PPC.
