LinuxPPC problems

As I mentioned before, I did some trials on my LinuxPPC box last week
end. First I compiled with -O0. To my surprise, things got worse than -
O2. Seems tas() for PPC (storage/buffer/s_lock.c) never works if
compiled with -O0. Included are patches that should fix the problem
(of course I have confirmed -O2 works with this patch).

BTW, here is a platforms/regression test failure(serious one--backend
death) matrix.

FreeBSD LinuxPPC(-O0) LinuxPPC(-O2)

constraints GOOD NG NG
create_function1 GOOD GOOD NG
create_function2 GOOD GOOD NG
select_having NG NG NG
select_views GOOD NG NG
triggers GOOD NG NG

I will look into LinuxPPC problems further.
