I made more tests. I don't understand exactly how, but it seems we are
able to distinguish Linux binaries from NetBSD binaries without any of
the linux_signature and linux_gcc signature tests. 

Is there any drawbacks of just skipping linux_signature on the PowerPC?
If not, what's the prefered way?

We can bracked the linux_signature test in linux_probe with 
#if !defined (__powerpc__)

Or we bracket the test with a #ifdef LINUX_SIGNATURE and add the
LINUX_SIGNATURE symbol to each arch/*/linux_exec.h, except for powerpc
arch, of course.

I think the second way is cleaner, because it removes architecutre
dependent condtionnals from the common code. Opinions?
