While attempting to get xen to crosscompile for the opteron from a powerpc machine, I discovered a small bug in mkelf32. mkelf32 assumes that u64 is an unsigned long on powerpc machines, causing it to fail when crosscompiling opteron binaries.

Simple fix: on line 37, change
#if defined(__i386__)
to
#if defined(__i386__) || defined(__ppc__)

A better long-term fix that uses things like uint64_t might be preferable, but this was sufficient to get things to compile and xen to build. I haven't tried to boot xen on qemu yet; that's the next step once I fix some minor problems causing chk build to fail on curl and zlib.
