Super!

I had to add a few "volatile" for signal related stuff, as gcc was
reordering instructions across signal-triggering locations.

Yes, inlined-threading works on PPC!  I finally got it to work just a
few minutes ago. :-))

I also fixed the libffi related problems so as to get rid of the
LIBFFIBUG conditional.  This fix could help on ia64, if it has the
same byte order as PPC.

OK, I'll check-in the code into CVS in a few minutes.
