That should work most of the time ... but sometimes it's more convenient to look at the code in the .o files only, so that you do not have to struggle with the disassembly code of all other parts as well. Anyway, I just tried the patch with the .PRECIOUS line disabled, and I got a very strange behavior: The first time when I run make after a "make clean", it deletes all *.o files in the powerpc folder. But when I run "make" again the second time, the *.o files are not deleted anymore! That's very confusing ... not sure if we want to have that behavior, so maybe let's better keep that .PRECIOUS line?
