One of the last glibc updates removed support to PowerPC processors present in
old Apple hardware, such as the G4 Mac Minis.

I understand ppc32 is not officially supported on openSUSE. I'm reporting the
bug just as a heads up, in case we still want to keep support for these old
machines and the change was a mistake. Feel free to close as WONTFIX if this is
not the case.

I believe the likely culprit is:

* Tue Apr 17 2012 aj@suse.de
- Build for power4 only, don't support power3 anymore.
