FYI, The problem I'm looking at isn't endian related.  This was with a
big endian PowerPC (simulated mind you).

Could you please send me your test program and I'll try it out with GCC
2.7.>0.  I'm a little (and should not be) sendpr iliterate (I'll pretend
its because my NetBSD box is not net-connected) ....
