Unfortunately I don't have any macppc (or any other archs other than
i386 and amd64) so I can't provide a working boostrap binary :(

I've added BROKEN-powerpc as you suggest.

thanks for testing guile on powerpc64 too!

These two failure are because guile tries to read RLIMIT_AS which we
don't have. I patched it to use RLIMIT_DATA in test-out-of-memory and
RLIMIT_STACK on test-stack-overflow and now they passes too. I'll try
to upstream this patches if i don't get distracted :)
