[openbeosnetteam] It doesn't look like you will be getting kernel support on ppc

The PowerPC R5 kernel does not export the following symbols, necessary 
for the kernel version of the net stack to build. (It also does not 
seem possible to build a userland version now. Am I missing something?)

### mwldppc Linker Error:
#   undefined 'close_module_list' (code)
#   Referenced from 'find_interface_modules' in core.c
#   Referenced from 'find_protocol_modules' in core.c
### mwldppc Linker Error:
#   undefined 'read_next_module_name' (code)
#   Referenced from 'find_interface_modules' in core.c
#   Referenced from 'find_protocol_modules' in core.c
### mwldppc Linker Error:
#   undefined 'open_module_list' (code)
#   Referenced from 'find_interface_modules' in core.c
#   Referenced from 'find_protocol_modules' in core.c   

It very much seems that this is an insoluble problem unless we use 
hacks that (1) would be incredibly ugly and (2) I would never suggest 
adding. *Sigh*. As I have said before, without a ppc version, I will be 
able to do no work for this team. As this looks impossible at the 
moment...
-Nathan (really hoping he's wrong about you guys abandoning the 
userland stack)
