Is this a recent declaration? It has been a long time since I read =20
him working on a PPC backend for the JIT and he designed the code =20
with that target in mind. This is mostly useful nowadays now that we =20
have a testsuite, though not for FPU instructions yet. This would be =20
a good start though, to check the individual translated instructions =20
semantics.

I plan to change a few things in the JIT code and it would be nice =20
indeed to have a look at his PPC backend.
