PPC what exactly?

I think the odds are pretty high that the problem here is that we tried to
use the "mutex hint" option in our PPC spinlock assembly code, and the
system's assembler doesn't recognize that. However, we only try to use
that option after the configure script has confirmed that the syntax is
accepted, so it's not real clear how you got this result. Perhaps you
tried to change compilers without redoing the configure run?
