David Schleef:
o Made powerpc assembly code PIC-compatible
o Removed powerpc R_PPC_REL24 handling, since it was deceptively useless.
+John Traill:
+ o Several types on powerpc, such as dev_t, are different than on other
+ architectures. John spotted this, which fixed a _ton_ of problems since
+ anything calling stat() was previously broken.
Jim Treadway:
o Eliminated use of alarm() from the DNS resolver by converting
it to use select instead (much cleaner).
