3 emerge was successfull on ppc
4 added ppc keyword
5 did not unmask it, but added a small comment to packages.mask

7 > perl-5.8.0:

9 emerge failed on ppc, compilation succeeded but make test failed: This
10 problem seems to be similar to the ghostscript problem I had earlier. One
11 of the perl tests tries to perform some tests on the cache, and my machine
12 seems to loop forever performing this test. (Could this be kernel related?
13 can anyone with a Titanium 2 machine (550) test this?)
14
15 I also corrected the headers of some of the files (5.6.1-r6 had a 5.6.1-r3
16 header... I noticed that lintool *.ebuild did not complain about this
17 but lintool <individual ebuild> did.)
