Ack, thanks. I emailed you off-list. Please feel free to share as necessary.

Thanks.
In return I can offer access to an old PowerMac. The PowerMac is a
big-endian PowerPC-64 using an Apple port of GCC 4.1. Everything else
I have is run-of-the-mill or under-powered dev-boards.
A lot of projects have access to the PowerMac, including Jonathan
Wakely of GCC, Andy Polyakov of OpenSSL. and the MacPorts project.
Share and share alike :)
