Ok, since the machine I have access to is a Power7, I guess I could try
a powerpc64 build after that as well.

Ok, I will try to get access to a kfreebsd-* system to try to figure it
out.

Ok, these seemed to do the trick, but another std.math build failure in
floor():

/home/markos/ldc-0.13.0/runtime/phobos/std/math.d(3199): Error: static
assert  "Only 64-bit, 80-bit, and 128-bit reals are supported by floor
()"

Does this mean that the powerpc32 port does not have support for 64-bit
floats?

Anyways thanks for your help.
