Any Fedora gurus here using GUB?

Ouch.  We have a couple (two or three) Fedora-specific
workarounds in place already.  It seems another problem
has crept-in.  It would be nice to have a Fedora user
look into these workarounds and get them fixed.

Possibly...have a look at target/linux-ppc/log/cross/binutils.log,
the error should be there.

Have a look at gub/specs/python.py -- it lists the patches that
we use, which are available in GUB's patches/ directory.

However, you need some extra trickery to get it built--which is
already in place in GUB -- and I would also very much like GUB
to work on Fedora too.  It seems people keep using that for
some reason ;-)
