OCaml ppc64 support

[Britt Dodd]

I bought a Xserve G5 for $100 off of Craigslist. It was still in the
box and never turned on. Even came with OS X Tiger Unlimited Server. I
was going to dual-boot gentoo/Fedora/OSX Leopard. I bought 6 Xserve
G4's too, five parts machines and one machine i'm going to run Gentoo
on.

Deals are around, I'd look for a Xserve if you can find one (theyre
wide, but not tall and fit under a desk or endtable.
