 At the moment, this doesn't matter too much because those were the only
 arches affected by the code in the patch when it was in the original
 version (and we do apply the update with the altered docs to the final
 system), but it looks messy.

 The original version of the patch was needed for ppc and ppc64, but only
 with --enable-kernel=2.6.22 (or later), and prevents glibc compiling with
 --enable-kernel=2.6.0 which is what we have in the book.  Maybe we should
 just drop the patch completely, because all the cut-down version is doing
 is updating some documentation ?
