[erlang-questions] Erlang RB12-1 Mac OS X Leopard on ppc HiPE problems

[Vlad Balin]

HiPE is not working under Leopard/ppc.

I've patched erts/configure script to force HiPE under ppc Leopard. It
didn't help. I've got following errors. Well, that are the same errors as in
FPE test program. I can't fix it. Please, help.
