Yep.
We did this as we have no way of testing with PPC.
We have mentioned before that if someone can make the changes
and test them successfully on PPC, then we'll update the code.

Yep.
And that's where the,
"libacl: acl_set system call not defined for this architecture"
message is coming from.
One needs to update with acl sys call numbers:
In userspace:
cmd/acl/libacl/acl.c
In kernelspace:
linux/include/asm-ppc/unistd.h
linux/arch/ppc/kernel/misc.S
Check out the examples of:
linux/include/asm-i386/unistd.h
linux/arch/i386/kernel/entry.S
Note that we have left a gap in the syscall numbering
to try to avoid collisions with future syscalls which
are being added.
