We've been through this before.  Newer Darwin kernels have semaphore
support, which means that you'll at least have to compensate for that.  I
believe we agreed that semaphore support for older kernels would be
available as a patch.

No C++ comments.

Why?

Here the question was why the existing powerpc code doesn't work.  There
are only syntax differences.  Any idea?

This doesn't work.  There's no guarantee that the source tree is the same
as the build tree.

No commented out things.  Either you take -02 or -O0 or you set CFLAGS to
something else, but it has to be set to something.
