patches are at fault.
Josh Triplett fixed the signal related support on ppc, if this is
related you could try the latest svn debian dir. Otherwise we can
upload now and once you get the fix a new version can be uploaded
again.
I would definitely recommend trying the latest debian directory from
SVN, but I would mention that I've also observed some syscalls failing
in the PowerPC emulation for unknown reasons, and I'd be interested in
any details you might have about that problem. In particular, I've
observed poll() failing with EPERM, which shouldn't be possible.

I didn't notice those specific problems, but 20_net_socket.patch is
causing the problem I mentioned. With it, all attempts to use libX11
fail, but without it, things work. I have no idea what the author of
that patch was thinking, because it makes no sense to monkey with the
arguments to a syscall in that fashion. Please remove that patch. TIA
