Have you looked at the whole set? It is all separated out. That is why
there are 7 parts!
Oh yeah?

	* sysdeps/powerpc/elf/libc-start.c : Scan Aux Vector for
	AT_DCACHEBSIZE and copy value to __cache_line_size.
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/powerpc/dl-sysdep.c : Scan Aux Vector for
	AT_DCACHEBSIZE and copy value to __cache_line_size.
	* sysdeps/powerpc/ppc32/memset.S : Define __cache_line_size and use
	its value to select the correct stride for dcbz.
	* sysdeps/powerpc/ppc64/memset.S : Define __cache_line_size and use
	its value to select the correct stride for dcbz.

2002-06-04  Steven Munroe  <sjmunroe@us.ibm.com>
	* elf/dl-load.c (open_verify): When ELF_MULT_MACHINES_SUPPORTED
	elf header class missmatch call elf_host_tolerates_class (ehdr)
	and elf_host_tolerates_machine (ehdr). If tolerated return -2.
	* elf/dl-load.c (open_path): When ELF_MULT_MACHINES_SUPPORTED
	and open_verify returns -2 then skip this library and continue
	search.
	* elf/dl-load.c (_dl_map_object): When ELF_MULT_MACHINES_SUPPORTED
	and and absolute library path case and open_verify returns -2 then
	skip _dl_map_object_from_fd and return NULL.
	* elf/rtld.c (dl_main): When ELF_MULT_MACHINES_SUPPORTED and
	processing LD_PRELOAD or processing "/etc/ld.so.preload". If
	_dl_map_object returns NULL then skip this libr


And this is only from part 4.  I haven't even looked further.


Are there specific non-powerpc parts you find problematic?
Any change to generic code is suspicous by default. You have to justify each and every one of them.

The same is true for changes to any existing ppc file. Only you'll have to justify it to the ppc maintain (Geoff).
