Just downloaded the tarball but unfortunately the binary (ppccl)
has rather restricting library dependencies: 

  ldd ppccl 
  ./ppccl: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3.4' not found (required
by ./ppccl)
  ./ppccl: /lib/libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.4' not found
(required by ./ppccl)
  ./ppccl: /lib/libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_2.3.3' not found
(required by ./ppccl)
	libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x0fd50000)
	libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x0fde0000)
	libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x0fd70000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x0fe70000)
	/lib/ld.so.1 => /lib/ld.so.1 (0x0ffd0000)


Is this really neccessary? (My test box is a G4 running Ubuntu Linux/PPC
stable),

Can i recompile the tarball using a CVS checkout?
