It never worked to begin with, so you haven't broken anything :).  On actinium, the 
initial jump into jit_code from runops_jit promptly segfaults.  I've yet to 
successfully convince gdb to import the stabs object (made either with GNU STABS and 
gas or XCOFF STABS and the AIX as) to see what parrot instruction is causing the 
failure.  Since even basic_1.pasm fails (i.e., noop,end), I'm tempted to think the 
problem is occurring before it gets to the PASM ops, but I'm not familiar enough with 
PPC ASM or gdb to track it down.  If there's anyone more knowledgable I'd be glad to 
take some direction and poke around.

Adam
