direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.

Hi Klaus,

I do not know why, but recently we have noticed rising interest in
DRBD for PPC. I can not help you with that build issue from the
top of my head, but I can tell you that the module you would get
if the build would run through would be not be functional...

We just recently fixed an endianess issue in the code, you have
to wait for 8.0.14 or 8.2.7, which will be released RSN.

PS: Does a simple "make" work in the drbd source dir?
