I guess it may be irrational of me, but I'd really rather not do this because I fear architecture issues with the binaries. I mean, I guess that generic PPC64 binaries should work, and that's what I'll actually end up compiling myself, but I'd still be happier with ones that have been *built* on (or specifically for) a cell. |
