Hm. I asked around and found a machine I can use that can run PPC
binaries, but it's actually, well, confusing. I think this is an x86
machine running Leopard which uses JIT to transparently run PPC
binaries. I'm not sure this is really a good test.

But if you're interested and can explain the tests to run I can try to
get the tests running on this machine:
