Oh, I should have remembered this before... I tried to build arla on
my powerpc and discovered that modload doesn't work on it. (It passes
the wrong options to ld, which you can fix by changing the "#ifdef
__alpha__" to "#if defined(__alpha__) || defined(__powerpc__)", but
then it complained about the module not being a.out. I didn't bother
to report this since lots of stuff doesn't work on the powerpc and I
assume it's on Tsubai's to-do list somewhere...
