OK, you are compiling in PowerPC 32-bit mode, but CLN's configuration was
confused because you have a 64-bit CPU.

The immediate workaround for you is to change include/cln/config.h so that it
defines __rs6000__ and not __powerpc64__, do a "make clean" and "make".

The fix should be to add code to m4/general.m4 to distinguish 32-bit and
64-bit PowerPC, like it's already done for Sparc / Sparc64. Can someone
please do that? I don't have the time.
