Got bug report?  Actually I should re-test ppc, that may be fixed now.

These should drop the '21' in the filename.
(Actually, I'll just fold them into the execshield patch)

Oh. Hmm, maybe not.

So this is odd.  It'd be better to fold your diffs into
the execshield patch, and make that build, even if it
doesn't actually use any of the execshield functionality.

This should use the templated files and just override config-generic
where necessary.   This way we don't need to change options in N places
when something changes.
