Initial Package Version: 9708
Origin: gentoo portage, rediffed to apply with -p1
Description: allows `make install' to complete on ppc (e.g. iBook).

Without this patch, building the offensive fortunes using `rot' to
obfuscate the source text never finishes and uses increasing amounts
of storage for it's output file (I killed mine after about 10 minutes
and it was taking over 300MB).  With it, the build and install 
completes in a few seconds.

 I'm surprised it was so hard to find this, because the source doesn't
build on this platform with gcc-2.95.3 so it isn't exactly a new 
problem.
