I'm glad it works then ;)

I was frankly surprised to find that flag there. It must be that
someone else might have previously had the same problem, heh.

I haven't looked at the virtualisation link I stuck up (ie KVM/Qemu)
very carefully yet but it may be possible with those tools (I am
making a BIG assumption here so I could be really wrong) to be able to
host a virtual 440 in its own little environment on your Powerstation
(ie not just a chroot but a true VM). It may involve a rebuild of the
kernel I suspect - for the KVM module possibly.

That way perhaps you can build binaries with full optimisation and yet
have them tested out on your 970's linux.
