This was built only minutes ago:

zulu:/export/os/polaris2/usr/src/uts/ppc/genunix> ll debug32/genunix -rw-r--r--

zulu:/export/os/polaris2/usr/src/uts/ppc/genunix> file debug32/genunix
debug32/genunix: ELF 32-bit MSB relocatable PowerPC Version 1

Ladies and Gentlemen, The OpenSolaris kernel for PowerPC has been built. Its only a matter of a little time and we will put GRUB2 together with PowerPC genunix and we will be running on the Genesi ODW. All the software at Blastwave will be ported in parallel and we will work with the SchilliX distribution to ensure that we have a framework for AMD64 and UltraSparc as well as PowerPC for /community based open source software in general.

A special round of applause goes out for Cyril Plisko !
