Branden,
I figured out the problem when building your test XFree86 4.2.0
packages on debian ppc sid using gcc 3.1.1. The problem is that
when we build with gcc 3.1.1, ppc becomes like alpha and can no
longer do a 'strip --strip-debug' on libGLcore.a in the
xserver-xfree86. So far libGLcore.a is the only server extension
which has a loading problem. I think when sid switches over to
gcc 3.2 we can get away with just adding a wrapper for powerpc
that makes sure dh_strip is called with -X libGLcore.a. Well at
least that is one less than to worry about on ppc now.

ps When one allows a 'strip --strip-debug' to happen on libGLcore.a
on debian ppc sid you get an error...
