Oops, sorry, I was thinking off by one directory level. Here's why:

Look in regress/lib/libc/Makefile, and you'll see another .if which already
does what you want if you add powerpc to the list. That's where I have my
sources patched.

When I saw your powerpc-only .if, I had a minor brain burp and assumed
you were fixing the Makefile down in except/ (which is obviously not true
from reading your patch carefully, but it would have resulted in the error
I mentioned).
