No, I didn't. Here's what happened. On x86_64 host I used to be able to 
compile 32bit executables with --extra-cflags="-m32". That stopped 
working when libcacard showed up -- I posted a patch today -- only the 
linking of vscclient in libcacard/ didn't work. The "work-around" before 
the patch was --disable-smartcard. Now taking that same habit of passing 
--extra-cflags="-m32" to the ppc64 machine again didn't work, but was 
broken somewhere else. So this is where this is all coming from.
