 As an inveterate chrooter, if I want to run straight ppc on my G5
(ppc64) I use 'linux32', so I suppose the module would do the job -
but, using only 32-bit userspace on ppc64 still needs a 64-bit
kernel (and therefore a cross-compiler), so it isn't really supported
- and now I've got a real 32-bit ppc I don't bother firing up the
heat-intensive G5 for non-multilib.
