[clean-list] Linux PowerPC Version

[Marco Kesseler]

Hi,

FYI, I have built (bootstrapped) a PowerPC version of Clean 2.1 for
Linux. I will try to get this online somewhere. In the meantime, if
people are interested, I can mail a gzipped archive with binaries and
the changed sources (almost 2MB).

The core functionality works: I have compiled the compiler itself as a
test, but some more advanced things will not work. Some things won't
because they are not supported on Linux, others because I had other
priorities. The archive contains some readme's with additional
information.

While hunting down problems in the runtime system, and learning a bit
about PowerPC assembly, I documented part of the garbage collector
sources. So if people are interested in a glimpse of the internal node
structures in Clean, they might want to have a look at that (it's not
complete though, and probably still quite hard to follow).

have fun,
Marco
