That all looks good - bug2524 test is PPC specific, prctl test fails
because of known problems with configure and the test itself.

I have a trivial patch I'm going to apply that assumes this will
always be supported. It's the better code path to use, and it's only
untrue pre 2.6.12, which isn't a problem for Debian or Ubuntu.

I'll upload 0.8.2-8 to Debian now, with a reference in the Changelog
to the LP bug.
