No, actually a nice one. :-)
Please don't misunderstand me. It's great that you work on the PPC port and I
certainly don't mind answering questions. It would just be much appreciated,
if you (and everyone else, of course) would take a bit of time to dig before
shooting something off to the mailing list. E.g. to answer your linker script
question I had to look into the ld documentation. That took only a few
minutes, but that really shouldn't have been my time in the first place.

Then don't search the generated* dirs. :-) Unless you're looking for data
files headers/ and src/ are sufficient. I usually start with the scope where
I would expect something of interest to turn up -- like
src/system/{kernel,boot} and headers/private/kernel for kernel respectively
boot loader related stuff -- and widen it, if necessary.

Certainly. I'm afraid none of the people with commit access really feel
responsible for the PPC port, though. So a bit of prodding from time to time
might help. :-)
