I noticed.

And I tried to do a cross-compile, but with my update to F36 the
powerpc64 cross-tools seems to be very broken. I get lots of strange
errors like

Cannot find symbol for section 11: .text.kgdb_arch_pc.

and I have no idea why. I used to have a working cross-build
environment at one point, but now it just gives me lots of errors.

The gcc plugin situation also seems broken, and I assume it's just
more of the same breakage.

End result: I tried to make sense of the merge conflicts as best I
could, but I might have completely screwed it up and wasn't really
able to even do a test build of it.
