T2/PS3

Hi all,

as we already support most PPC* variants additionally supporting the Sony PS3
is just the natural expansion.

We have such a cell CPU box on the office table with YDL (Yellow Dog Linux)
installed for a comfortable start.

I just write to drop a note that the current, trunk, libC detection to build the
flist wrapper against is imperfect and just uses the first library found. This
can even be an optional uClibC on othewise GlibC based systems - such
as this YDL. A quick fix for this general issue is provided below, however
it needs some test runs for other build setups (uClibc / dietlibc based builds)
in order to make it into trunk:

+                       abort 'Unable to detect libC for flwrapper'
                fi

                if [ $stagelevel -lt 2 ]; then

Linking and loading the libC not matching to the late executable of course
results in segfaults pretty quickly ...

Yours,
