I know it's ugly, however, module building is completely
broken right now and I just want to provide a quick and
ugly fix until both that ppc->powerpc transition and the
new binding transition are over. Noone wants to touch the
old stuff any more as it's a pita and it's already scheduled
for removal in a couple of months.

Thanks,
Jochen
