Hi,

SableVM now should build out-of-box on Darwin(OS X)/ppc but not with
signals for exception, it segfaults.  If you want to disable it by
default, the host string is: powerpc-apple-darwin* and you enable them
for powerpc-*.  So I guess you need: powerpc-*-gnu.

On FreeBSD, there are still a few issues to solve.  Basically, instead
of linking libpthread, we have to pass the -pthread option to gcc so it
links -lc_r (reentrant libc + pthread function) instead of libc.  Even
with that, there were a few issues.

It may take some time to fix these as I have to update several autoconf
, subversion etc. on these system.  So I think we should still go ahead
with the release.
