[kaffe] building for powerpc

[Mathieu Dube]

Well actually those linked helped

specially this: http://www2.biglobe.ne.jp/~inaba/sysdepCallMethod.html found 
in one of them

The problem is that the sysdepCallMethod called by callMethodA and 
callMethodV in support.c

basically it had the sysdepCallMethod of i386 becoz config/md.h had #include 
"./i386/linux/md.h" instead of "./powerpc/linux/md.h" even though I told the 
configure script that the target was powerpc-linux

Its almost compiling now...

The problem left is that when it compiles kaffe-bin I get an undefined 
reference to sysdepCallMethod.

So I might be close
hehe

Thanks
-Mat
