Subject: Re: Compilation error for 1.7x on ppc64-linux
My apologies to Rembrandt/et. al. for not making it perfectly clear I
wasn't requesting support and that I had applied the jumbo patch - I
found the solution, but didn't find where anyone had noted such an
item; I posted more for FYI/posterity's sake.

Indeed - JS20 blade; I had no idea how much faster it would be against
DES, but I'm incredibly pleased. The 1.6GHz 970s in this box are
nearly 70% faster against DES than a 2.4GHz Xeon, thanks to your
Altivec optimization.

I'll give it a whirl - I've built the whole thing w/64-bit userland,
but depending on how much more 32-altivec gives me, 32-bit libs may
arrive to stay.

I don't purport to be any sort of expert or very knowledgeable about
any of the level of stuff you guys are doing; rather, I was quite
pleased that I was successful at applying the jumbo patch on the first
try. However, I _am_ learning... ;-)
