 PPC buildworld is done with "-DNOLIBC_R -DNOFORTH". You shouldn't have to use -DNO_WARN.

 DES has a periodic tinderbox build for PPC (and other arches), with the results up at
    http://triangle.rtp.FreeBSD.Org/~des/

 That's a good option to see if there's generic build-breakage (e.g. the recent
/rescue problems, which were fixed as of a few minutes ago).

 I think that's a little out of data. The only file that needs to be patched
now is rs6000/config/freebsd.h, and the diff is at

  www.freebsd.org/~grehan/freebsd.h.diff

later,

Peter.
