Latest on PPC

Last night I wrote some patches to make it possible for a multilib
Java build to work on Linux PPC.
One of these patches is questionable and I'm waiting for feedback from
other gcc hackers before submitting it.
Now the PPC build dies like this:
/x1/gcc3/Ppc-build/gcc/gcj -B/x1/gcc3/Ppc-build/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/libjava/ -B/x1/gcc3/Ppc-build/gcc/ --encoding=UTF-8 -C -g -g -O2 -classpath /x1/gcc3/Ppc-build/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/libjava:/x1/gcc3/gcc/libjava -d /x1/gcc3/Ppc-build/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/libjava java/io/FilePermission.java
java/io/FilePermission.java: In class `java.io.FilePermission':
java/io/FilePermission.java: In method `java.io.FilePermission.equals(java.lang.Object)':
java/io/FilePermission.java:142: internal error in generate_bytecode_insn - tree code not implemented: bit_field_ref
java/io/FilePermission.java:142: internal error in generate_bytecode_insn - tree code not implemented: bit_field_ref
java/io/FilePermission.java:142: confused by earlier errors, bailing out
I don't know whether I'll have time to look at this.
I could try to get a stack trace but I doubt that would be too helpful.
