The main issue hasn't been because of general code issues with the
port, the main issues stems from a slight incompatibility with our
buildd software, and the way the powerpc daemons are currently
configured. The issue has been patched around, and a mass give-back
has been done, whch means all the currently failed builds have been
retried on the builders, hopefully bringing the port to much better
shape than its currently in.
